National audienceIn recent years, computer systems have evolved quickly. This evolution concerns different layers of the system, both software (operating systems and user programs) and hardware (microarchitecture design and chip technology). While this evolution allows to enrich the functionalities and improve the performance, it has also increased the complexity of the systems. It is difficult, if not impossible, to fully understand a particular modern computer system, and a greater complexity also stands for a larger attack surface for hackers. While most of the attacks target software vulnerabilities, over the past two decades, attacks exploiting hardware vulnerabilities have emerged and demonstrated their serious impact. For example, in...
