Primes

• Side Channel Attack
  • That reframing licenses interventions the access-policy frame cannot generate — constant-time implementations, oblivious memory access, output rate limiting, padding, response normalization, randomized delays, decoy traffic, query-pattern obfuscation

    This sourceIntroduces oblivious RAM, making memory-access patterns independent of the data accessed — a foundational defense that decouples an observable (access pattern) from protected state, exemplary of the side-channel defense family (constant-time code, ORAM, padding, response normalization, cover traffic).

    Supported in partVerified against the work's full text

    Supports oblivious memory access as a way to hide access patterns; the other listed countermeasures are not in the paper.

    “Hiding the (original) memory access pattern is a completely new problem and traditional cryptographic techniques are not applicable to it.”

    Read by an automated reader; not a human review. How support was checked

Domain-specific

• Oblivious RAM
  • A trace that is private but returns the wrong data is not an ORAM simulation; a correct memory that directly reveals the requested addresses is not oblivious.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
