Methods and apparatus to detect side-channel attacks

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to identify a side-channel attack are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a vector-to-neuron processor to map an event vector to a neuron of a trained self-organizing map; a buffer processor to identify a task pair based on the neuron and an adjacent neuron of the neuron; a buffer to store data corresponding to the identified task pair; an attack identifier to, when information stored in the buffer corresponds to more than a threshold number of task pairs corresponding to the identified task pair, identify a malware attack; and a mitigation technique selector to select a technique for mitigating the malware attack.
