Abstract. Prior work showed that variations in SSD access time can be used to leak information about user activity, e.g., the websites a user ac- cesses, and for covert data transmission. To achieve this, SSD contention side channels require accurate high-resolution timing measurements of I/O operations, e.g., through the io_uring kernel API. However, the impact of these attacks is limited in ...
