119 - Defending DRAM for data safety and security in the cloud
In this podcast episode, Dr. Stefan Saroiu, a Senior Principal Researcher in Microsoft Research's Mobility and Networking group, discusses the vulnerability of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) to Rowhammer attacks. Though DRAM is widely used in computer memory due to its volatile nature, it is susceptible to this adversarial attack, which can result in data loss and security breaches across various devices. Dr. Saroiu explains why DRAM remains vulnerable to such attacks even after years of mitigation efforts.
However, he also discusses a potential solution in the form of bespoke extensibility mechanisms for DRAM, which he suggests could help prevent Rowhammer attacks. By adopting this approach, researchers hope to improve data safety and security in devices ranging from smartphones to cloud-based systems. Tune in to this episode to learn more about the vulnerability of DRAM and the ongoing efforts to safeguard sensitive data in the digital age.
The post, "119 - Defending DRAM for Data Safety and Security in the Cloud," was originally released as a podcast on Spotify.
