Consider an attack strategy that measures whether a disk sector/block

figure out if a cache line is in the Data Cache (or not).}
Any ideas ??
It won't be vulnerable to a direct speculation attack becauseEffectively, the CPU puts the PAGEFAULT into the execution pipeline
the cpu does not trigger page faults on mispredicted paths.
So you can't use the presence in a file cache to probe code paths
or data values to leak secrets.
Also the 4kB resolution would be problematic to correlate back toThat just slows down the rate of (BW) of the inference, and does
particular branches taken and infer secret values.
