MIT’s Secure Hardware Design Class (6.5950/6.5951) is an open-source course that teaches students both how to attack modern CPUs and how to design architectures resilient to those attacks. Students gain hands-on experience hacking real processors and are taught various state-of-the-art hardware attacks and defenses. Secure Hardware Design is the culmination of years of effort by Prof. Yan and a team of students.
