Solaris 10 Success Story. 3670

Nonsense. It's a possible information leak in all hyperthreading cpus, on any operating system, windos included. Not that the leak provides any usable info at all.

He seems to be an intelligent man to me. I agree. I also see no real problem.

Good for him.

Oh, he's blasted off that nutter, has he? That's another notch up in my estimation.

I don't. It looks pretty nonsensical, since it doesn't reduce the space you have to search for the key. I don't even see that you can map the cache usage pattern in the time in which you have to do it in, thugh maybe it's possible. Anyway, there's nothing anyone can do about it (not that the info is useful), except turn off hyperthreading when a secure thread is in the cpu. And then they'd also have to stop the cpu heating up in certain recognizable patterns when doing RSA computations, or making a buzzing noise in its transistors ..

I'm not. He's a troll. Maybe you're a troll. Who knows. I see this is crossposted to slowaris newsgroups, so somebody is trolling. I'll get rid of the advocacy groups, at least.

Please TRIM newsgroups. These trolls are sillier than you.

I'm keeping only the crosspost to solaris just to annoy JS, who I buttume will beam in on this like a shill.
