CSE 240ESecuring Processor Architectures
This course will examine the challenges of building a secure processor architecture. We will examine side channel attacks that exploit vulnerabilities throughout the processor and pipeline, transient execution attacks, architectures that mitigate various vulnerabilities, some more fundamentally secure architectural designs, architectures that provide memory isolation, and those that provide control flow isolation.
