Rowhammer Vulnerability of DRAMs in 3-D Integration
Journal Article IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration VLSI Systems · May 1, 2024 We investigate the vulnerability of 3-D-integrated dynamic random access memorys (DRAMs) [i.e., typically connected with silicon via (TSV), monolithic interconnect via (MIV)] to Rowhammer attacks. We have developed a SPICE framework to characterize Rowhamm ... Full text CiteMachine Learning-Based Rowhammer Mitigation
Journal Article IEEE Transactions on Computer Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems · May 1, 2023 Rowhammer is a security vulnerability that arises due to the undesirable electrical interaction between physically adjacent rows in DRAMs. Bit flips caused by Rowhammer can be exploited to craft many types of attacks in platforms ranging from edge devices ... Full text CiteSimply-Track-and-Refresh: Efficient and Scalable Rowhammer Mitigation
Conference Proceedings International Test Conference · January 1, 2023 Rowhammer is a memory vulnerability that can compromise system-level security. Rowhammer occurs when a DRAM row is accessed repeatedly, potentially causing bit-flips for neighboring rows. The threshold for Rowhammer has decreased from 139K accesses in 2014 ...
