英文摘要Many-core systems are susceptible to attacks launched by thermal covert channel (TCC) attacks. Detection of TCC attacks often relies on the use of threshold-based approaches or variants, and a countermeasure to thwart the channel can be applied only after an attack is deemed to be present. In this article, we describe a direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS)-based TCC, where its thermal data are modulated by a pseudo-random bit sequence. Unfortunately, such DSSS-based TCC has an extremely low signal strength that the signal is nearly indistinguishable from the noise and thus cannot be detected by any existing threshold-based detection methods. To combat this stealthy TCC, we propose a novel detection scheme that lets the received signal pass through a differential filter where irrelevant frequency components occupied mainly by the noise gets eliminated and the filtered signal is next compared against a threshold for successful detection. Experimental results show that the DSSS-based TCC can effectively survive detection by the existing detection methods with its BER as low as 4%. In contrast, with the proposed detection and countermeasure applied, the detection accuracy jumps to 89%, and the BER of the DSSS-based TCC soars to 50%, which indicates that the TCC is practically shut down.
