SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATING BLIND DETECTION OF COMPUTATIONAL VULNERABILITIES

摘要

Methods for blind detection of computational vulnerabilities include the submission by a detecting system of potentially interpretable information to a target system; measurement of the timing characteristics of the output from the target system by the detecting system; and diagnosis of the vulnerabilities of the target system by the detecting system as based on the timing characteristics, optionally in conjunction with auxiliary data. Invented systems provide reference implementations of these methods.
