ABSTRACT:
Unobservable memory regions, referred to as stealth memory regions, are allocated or otherwise provided to store data whose secrecy is to be protected. The stealth memory is prevented from exposing information about its usage pattern to an attacker or adversary. In particular, the usage patterns may not be deduced via the side-channels.
