A new security shortcoming discovered in Apple M-series chips could be exploited to extract secret keys used during cryptographic operations. Dubbed GoFetch, the vulnerability relates to a microarchitectural side-channel attack that takes advantage of a feature known as data memory-dependent prefetcher (DMP) to target constant-time cryptographic implementations and capture sensitive data from the CPU cache.

The AI chip is key to the development, implementation and proliferation of AI today. These computer chips are foundational to powering and processing large-scale AI computations, and they’re evolving at a rapid pace. Gartner forecasts worldwide AI chips revenue to more than double by 2027 — a rise from an expected $53 billion in 2023 […]
With the first anniversary of the CHIPS and Science Act come and gone, the government has yet to release any of the $52.7 billion promised to chip manufacturers, designers and researchers. The U.S. Department of Commerce said this week, however, that it hopes to deliver the first funds by the end of this year. Much […]
