**Description**
|
||
|
|
In this lab, students implement the techniques from our group's ISCA 2022 paper `There's Always a Bigger Fish: A Case Study of a Misunderstood Timing Side Channel`. Students will begin by implementing a seemingly familiar cache-based side channel attack in Javascript, and will then be asked to reason about why this attack works. Then, students will remove a core part of the attack, but see that the code still works.
