How to render cloud FPGAs useless
Dirk
39th Chaos Communication Congress (39C3): Power Cycles · Day 2 · Saal Fuse
In this compelling talk from 39C3, Dirk, a researcher from the novel computing technologies group, delves into the vulnerabilities of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) when deployed in cloud environments. The presentation, titled "How to render cloud FPGAs useless," explores sophisticated remote attack vectors that can lead to denial-of-service (DoS) and accelerated aging of these critical hardware resources. Dirk's work highlights a significant shift in hardware security research, moving from traditional physical side-channel attacks requiring direct board access to purely remote methodologies capable of impacting multi-tenant cloud infrastructure.
