Plundervolt: How a Little Bit of Undervolting Can Create a Lot of Trouble

Abstract
Many modern processors expose privileged software interfaces to dynamically modify the frequency and voltage. These interfaces were introduced to cope with the ever-growing power consumption of modern computers. In this talk we show how these privileged interfaces can be exploited to undermine the systemβs security. We present the Plundervolt attack β demonstrating how we can corrupt the integrity of Intel SGX computations.
