You Will Learn

Threat models.
STRIDE categories (spoofing, tampering, repudiation, information disclosure, repudiation, denial of service, elevation of privilege).
System and PCIe overview, highlighting the areas we will discuss with respect to attacks.
DMA attacks.
Using the IOMMU to prevent DMA attacks, and the potential security holes with an IOMMU.
Other DMA attack mitigations such as encrypted memory.
Interrupt attacks.
Using Interrupt Remapping to prevent interrupt attacks, and the security holes with interrupt remapping.
The idea of mutable versus immutable, and why everything needs to be treated as mutable.
Error reporting attacks.
Switch attacks.
The enhancements to the PCIe fabric and to manageability (CMA/SPDM/IDE)
The boundaries of the protection from the enhancements, and possible paths to attacking such a secured system.

Course Description

This PCIe focused security course starts by looking at some of the simpler forms of attacks such as DMA, and some of the defenses again those attacks (IOMMU), and also some of the holes in these defense mechanisms. We then move onto looking at some of the additional features added to help protect the fabric (such as source validation in Access Control Services), and then onto the newest features for evaluating trust, link encryption, and point-to-point encryption. We also look at the supported for a TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) VM.
