The principle that if someone can physically access a device, they can compromise its security is challenged in the age of cloud computing, where sensitive information is maintained remotely.
Chipmakers have begun to build protections into their silicon. One specific effort is AMD's use of Secure Encrypted Virtualization, which aims to safeguard virtual machines from physical tampering.
Researchers unveiled BadRAM, an attack that effectively bypasses AMD's hardware security assurances, indicating that even advanced security measures are still vulnerable to innovative hacking techniques.
BadRAM targets AMD's Secure Encrypted Virtualization feature by demonstrating a method to compromise sensitive data in virtual machines, undermining the promises of hardware security.
