A Survey of Microarchitectural Side-channel Vulnerabilities, Attacks and Defenses in Cryptography

This project is a 2021 academic survey paper rather than a software tool or library. From a competitive intelligence perspective, it lacks a technical moat or commercial defensibility (Score: 2). The zero-star and low-fork count reflect its nature as a static research artifact rather than an active open-source project. While the knowledge systematization is valuable for security researchers, the field of microarchitectural security moves extremely fast (e.g., Spectre/Meltdown variants, Downfall, Zenbleed); consequently, a survey from 1,800+ days ago is likely missing recent critical breakthroughs. Frontier labs (OpenAI, Google) are consumers of this research to harden their own infrastructure but are unlikely to 'compete' in the business of writing surveys. The primary threat to this project is obsolescence by more recent 'Systematization of Knowledge' (SoK) papers published in Tier-1 security conferences like IEEE S&P or USENIX Security.
