Assistant Professor Gururaj Saileshwar has been recognized with a Top Picks Award in Hardware and Embedded Security

The MCS department is pleased to share that Assistant Professor Gururaj Saileshwar has been recognized with a Top Picks Award in Hardware and Embedded Security for the paper “MIRAGE: Mitigating Conflict-Based Cache Attacks with a Practical Fully-Associative Design” with co-author Professor Moinuddin Qureshi of Georgia Tech.

The Top Picks award from the IEEE Hardware Security and Trust Technical Committee “recognizes the best of the best in hardware security” from among all hardware security papers published in the last six years across all top security (e.g., IEEE S&P, USENIX SEC), architecture (e.g., ISCA, ASPLOS), computer-aided design (e.g., ICCAD, DAC, DATE) and hardware security (CHES) venues.

This research was published in 2021 in the USENIX Security Conference (USENIX SEC’21) and introduces a new cache design called Mirage, which prevents attackers from stealing information from shared processor caches.

Please join me in congratulating Gururaj on this well-deserved recognition!
