Precise side-channel analysis
Professor — Lab:

Technical description:
Side-channel attacks allow adversaries to infer sensitive information from non-functional characteristics. Typical side-channel detection tools are able to identify many potential vulnerabilities, but do not provide information regarding their severity, making it difficult for developers to decide whether to address them, as their leaks are often negligible in practice. Abacus is able to precisely quantify the leaked information and finds flaws that would otherwise be difficult for a developer to find.
