Quote:CSAIL warned that DAWG isn't a perfect solution for all side-channel attacks. The researchers believe it will defend against Spectre Variant 1 and 2 as well as other vulnerabilities that rely on similar techniques (they're also planning to continue training DAWG to bark at...erm, defend against other attacks like these). If they're right and their solution is widely adopted, Spectre's impact could be significantly reduced without requiring people to buy new processors or sacrifice too much performance in exchange for security, as many (somewhat incorrectly) feared.
