Project 1026: Defensive programming against microarchitectural attacks (MicroScope)

Summary

Project 1026 covers the development of a guide and a tool that provide practical, adaptable measures for public authorities, industry, and security research to increase the resilience of cloud-based applications against microarchitectural attacks such as Spectre and Meltdown. The guide will describe concrete, actionable measures, and the tool will automatically identify vulnerabilities and, where applicable, suggest mitigations.
