AES T-table Mitigation

The case study defaults to LX-SX on Cortex-A72 can be compiled with:

make

This automatically clones and fetches openssl, applies our patch, and produces a static binary aes_t_table that can be launched on a Cortex-A72. Compilation is usually fast but can take up to 10 minutes on a slow machine. openssl has to be compiled only once.

Run the defense demo as:

./aes_t_table

You can change the number of iterations at the top of aes_t_table.c.

Expected output:

Using 10000 iterations...
