The following blog was written by CCC Vice Chair Mark D. Hill from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As previously reported in the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) Blog, two major hardware security design flaws—dubbed Meltdown and Spectre—were broadly revealed to the public in early January 2018. These flaws are described in detail by the discoverers in research papers on Meltdown and Spectre, as well as Google blog posts here and here. Understanding these sources, however, requires considerable expertise and effort. For this reason, I have prepared a slide deck (animated PPTX or PDF) to give the general computer science audience the gist of these security flaws and their implications. My goal […]
Computing Community Consortium Blog
The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.
