DynamoDB is a key-value and document database that delivers single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. It's a fully managed, multiregion, multimaster database with built-in security, backup and restore, and in-memory caching for internet-scale applications. DynamoDB can handle more than 10 trillion requests per day and support peaks of more than 20 million requests per second.
This course uses a combination of video-based lectures delivered by Amazon Web Services expert technical trainers, demonstrations, and hands-on lab exercises, that you run in your own AWS account to enable you to build, deploy and manage your own DynamoDB-powered application.

What you'll learn

  • How NoSQL databases differ from relational databases and the challenges they solve
  • How to provision, manage and interact with a DynamoDB table
  • How to secure your DynamoDB database
  • How to use partition keys and scaling options to ensure optimal performance

Side-Channel Security: Developing a Side-Channel Mindset (edX)

Computer Science

Side channels are everywhere. They are incredibly powerful and have disrupted the world in the last years, especially with attacks like Meltdown and Spectre that impacted most computers on the planet. You also have seen side channels and used them already yourself. In this course, you will learn and practice the side-channel mindset and how to spot side channels in the real-world and how to use them in non-technical and semi-technical settings.

Transient-Execution Attacks: Understanding Meltdown and Spectre (edX)

Computer Science

Beyond software-based side-channel attacks there is a new class of attacks called transient-execution attacks. These attacks go beyond leaking meta-data and directly retrieve secret data but they use side channels as an data exfiltration mechanism to transmit the secret data to an attacker-controlled application. We will look at the most prominent of these attacks: Meltdown, Spectre, Foreshadow, and ZombieLoad. You will implement some of these attacks yourself and learn how to mitigate them.

Between Physical and Sofware: Fault Attacks, Side Channels, and Mitigations (edX)

Computer Science

Fault attacks (sometimes also called active side-channel attacks ) are a very powerful means that goes beyond just leaking secrets from an application or device, to actively manipulating it. We will look at fault attacks that can be triggered from software, namely Rowhammer and Plundervolt. We will also learn that some transient-execution attacks have some similarities to fault attacks. You will implement some of these attacks yourself and learn how they are mitigated.
