gollark: Side channels are where instead of looking at the obvious inputs/outputs of a system you look at other information which might be affected by what it's doing, like a chip's power draw, electromagnetic radiation from it, or timing.

gollark: There's some weirdness where it's not *strictly* rolled back entirely so some information can be extracted through bizarre side channels.

gollark: Spectre/Meltdown work using weirdness in speculative execution, which is where the CPU executes stuff faster by assuming one possibility is true then rolling it back if it's wrong.

gollark: CPUs have a bunch of privilege separation mechanisms, but flaws in them sometimes get around those.
