Abstract
Embodiments of a cryptograph processing device and method for adapting to shared-cache attacks are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, the cryptographic processing device comprises first and second processing units, and a cache that is shared by the first and second processing units. The first processing unit may monitor a number of cache misses that occur during the performance of a first cryptographic process and may switch to performing a second cryptographic process after the number of cache misses exceeds a threshold.
