Abstract

A processing system with a microarchitectural feature for mitigation of differential power analysis and electromagnetic analysis attacks can include a memory, a processor, and a mitigation response unit. The processor can include an instruction predictor that comprises a storage device for storing metadata associated with corresponding instruction blocks. The mitigation response unit is coupled to the instruction predictor to write and read the metadata associated with the corresponding instruction blocks. The mitigation response unit is configured to determine a mitigation technique for an instruction block based on an electromagnetic or power signature corresponding to execution of the instruction block and metadata associated with the instruction block.
