Abstract
Systems and techniques are described herein for thermal attack exploit mitigation. For example, a computing device can determine a first temperature of the apparatus; determine the first temperature of the apparatus is within a first temperature range; adjust a security level of the apparatus to a first security level based on the first temperature range; and perform a first security action associated with the first security level.
Claims20
An apparatus for temperature exploit mitigation, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to:
- determine a first temperature of the apparatus;
- determine the first temperature of the apparatus is within a first temperature range;
- adjust a security level of the apparatus to a first security level based on the first temperature range;
- and
- perform a first security action associated with the first security level.
A method for temperature exploit mitigation, the method comprising:
- determining a first temperature of an apparatus;
- determining the first temperature of the apparatus is within a first temperature range;
- adjusting a security level of the apparatus to a first security level based on the first temperature range;
- and
- performing a first security action associated with the first security level.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- determine a first temperature of an apparatus;
- determine the first temperature of the apparatus is within a first temperature range;
- adjust a security level of the apparatus to a first security level based on the first temperature range;
- and
- perform a first security action associated with the first security level.
