The new research is the results of a research team

The new research is the results of a research team led by Brian Cushing (aka, "the man") of the University of California at Irvine, who first introduced the concept of a core guard in the early 2000s. He first came up with the ideas for the Core Guard on his own, and then in 2006 he worked with Dr. Michael G. Anderson, the co-founder and head of the Institute for Advanced Computing in the California Institute of Technology, to develop the Core Guard.

"As a result of the work done by the Cushing team, I am able to bring together all of the disparate ideas at play and develop a comprehensive understanding of the Core Guard," said Cushing. While the research team is still looking at the core guards, they are working to identify ways to reduce the risk of Core Guard attacks in the near future.

In the coming months, the team will conduct a series of research to further refine the Core Guard and its mitigations. These researchers are also planning other research projects to improve the security and resilience of core-layer processors and their associated high-performance compute units.

When it comes to security issues, the researchers focus most of their research on the core-layer. They are interested in finding out whether the core-layer's memory is affected by a single attack, or whether the memory address space is affected by multiple attacks, or if each attack affects a single memory structure, or if each attack affects a single target. They are also interested in what kind of attack is being used to target a specific node.

"As soon as we get a better idea of how to detect a specific problem, we'll move to an attack vector," Cushing explained. He said it's a bit like trying to catch a wild horse by surprise.
