Detecting microarchitectural attacks is critical given their proliferation in recent years. Many of these attacks exhibit intrinsic behaviors essential to the nature of their operation, such as creating contention or misspeculation. This study systematically investigates the microarchitectural footprints of hardware-ba …

Modern cache replacement designs saturate because they operate within fixed representational structures, hand-crafted and heuristic based feature-engineered predictors, or offline imitation models that cannot generate new decision logic on their own. At the same time, replacement is shaped by the causal interaction of …

Membership is the root privacy primitive in machine learning: to date, no hardware-based out-of-distribution detection on black-box models has been demonstrated against constant-time, static neural networks with masked confidence. This paper performs the first cycle-level examination of how large language models and vi …
