We all want improvements to our computer’s performance. We also want our computer to be secure. Unfortunately, some tricks to improve performance open up security flaws. In this talk we will discuss the L1 Terminal Fault or Foreshadow attack which is made possible by speculative execution. I will cover the different varieties of the attack, how they are performed, how to mitigate against them, and the impact of these changes.
