+ 现代微处理器设计主要考虑性能和功耗。随着软硬件变得越来越复杂,安全在
+ 计算机系统的设计中逐渐受到重视。Meltdown 和 Spectre 攻击的发现,表明
+ 处理器微架构的优化,虽然不影响程序的正确运行,但是可能破坏系统的安全
+ 性。其中 Spectre 攻击利用处理器的推测式执行,通过暂态指令的执行构造隐
+ 蔽信道,将程序中的秘密信息泄露给攻击者,破坏了程序的安全保证和系统的
+ 隔离性。由于推测式执行是处理器优化执行性能的重要手段,在防御 Spectre
+ 攻击的同时,减少防御手段带来的性能下降,是一个复杂的问题。
+
+ 本文基于 gem5 模拟平台,设计了一种用于防御 Spectre 攻击的微架构,并
+ 对其进行评估。主要工作内容如下:
+ \begin{enumerate}
+ \item 调研现有的侧信道攻击、Meltdown 和 Spectre 攻击技术,深入分析这
+ 些攻击技术的原理。
+ \item 调研现有的 Meltdown 和 Spectre 防御方案,分析这些方案的设计思
+ 想、实现方法、安全性和开销
+ \item 设计一种用于防御 Spectre 攻击的微架构,并在 gem5 中模拟。该微架
+ 构基于动态信息流追踪技术,它用于检测推测式执行中的指令是否直接或间
+ 接依赖一个推测式执行中从内存装载的值,进而可能泄露数据。本文将这种
+ 技术和已有的安全装载数据的方案 InvisiSpec 结合使用,并在 gem5 中实
+ 现了这些模型。
+ \item 评测这种微架构的安全性和性能。在 gem5 中模拟这种微架构,用构造
+ 的验证程序进行测试,表明设计的微架构满足本文的安全特性。用 SPEC
+ CPU2006 进行性能评测,平均性能开销为 8.5\%,优于只使用动态信息流追
+ 踪检测技术或只使用 InvisiSpec 的模型的性能。

+ Performance and power consumption are the main factors of modern
+ processor design. As software and hardware become more and more
+ complex, security is becoming important in computer system
+ design. The disclosure of Meltdown and Spectre shows that
+ microarchitecture optimizations can break the security of the
+ system, although the programs still run correctly. Spectre exploits
+ speculative execution, constructing covert channel with transient
+ instructions, and leak secret information to the attacker, breaking
+ the security guarentee of the program and system isolation. Since
+ speculative execution is an important method to optimize the
+ execution, it's complex to defend against Spectre attack, while
+ minimize the performance loss of the defense.
+
+ This thesis designs a microarchitecture to defend against Spectre
+ attack, based on the gem5 simulation platform, and evaluates the
+ design. The contribution of this thesis is as follows:
+ \begin{enumerate}
+ \item Investigate on current side-channel attack, Meltdown and
+ Spectre attack, and analyze how these attacks work
+ \item Investigate on current defenses of Meltdown and Spectre
+ attack, analyze their idea, implementation, security and overhead
+ \item Design a microarchitecture to defend against spectre attack
+ and simulate it on gem5. This microarchitecture is based on
+ dynamic information flow tracking, which detects whether a
+ speculating instruction directly or indirectly depends on a value
+ loaded from memory, which may result in a leakage. This thesis
+ combines this method with InvisiSpec, a scheme to execute
+ speculating load safely, and implement these models on gem5.
+ \item Evaluate the security and performance of this
+ microarchitecture. Tested with a constructed proof of concept code
+ on gem5, this microarchitecture design has the expected security
+ feature. Evaluated with SPEC CPU2006, this microarchitecture has
+ an average performance overhead of 8.5\%, better than using DIFT
+ or InvisiSpec only.
