Abstract
A system and method includes a processing unit connected with a memory, the processing unit configured to access data from the memory. A memory transaction unit is added between the processing unit and the memory. The memory transaction unit is configured to perform dummy read- and write-operations at random memory locations at random times and/or insert random delays before real accesses by the processing unit from the memory.
