Abstract(in English) In this paper we discuss vulnerability of "CREAM", which was originally created by Daniel J. Bernstein in 2005 and named by Tony Arcieri later. This attack exploits the cache hits and misses that occur during the encryption process and recovers full AES key by measuring the total execution time of an encryption. Although it requires several unrealistic conditions, cloud computing can make the attack more practical. We propose the interaction between processes running on the different VMs as an alternative means of getting accurate clock cycles. We also cover POODLE attack. It's a kind of Man-in-the-middle attack against SSLv3.0, allowing to extract secure HTTP cookies. We prove the feasibility of this attack with a practical experiment.
