Cache refinement type for side-channel detection of cryptographic software by Jiang, Ke, Bao, Yuyan, Wang, Shuai, Liu, Zhibo, Zhang, Tianwei

“…It reveals several significant and effective enhancements with refined types, including bit-level granularity tracking, distinguishing different effects of variables, precise type inferences, and high scalability. (2) CaType is the first static analyzer for crypto libraries in consideration of blinding-based defenses. (3) From the perspective of implementation, CaType uses cache layouts of potential vulnerable control-flow branches rather than cache states to suppress false positives. …”
