Sixth Workshop on DRAM Security (DRAMSec)
Full-day Workshop Sunday June 28, 2026
co-located with ISCA 2026


DRAM is the most prevalent memory technology used in laptops, mobile phones, workstations and servers. As such, its security is paramount, yet DRAM attacks remain as viable as ever despite many attempts to resolve its security problems. The toolkit of DRAM disturb attacks has expanded with the introduction of new techniques such as Half-Double, RowPress, and ColumnDisturb, and it is likely that additional form of disturbance errors (and reliability and security issues) will emerge as we scale DRAM devices to smaller feature sizes. DRAM is also plagued by additional forms of attack, including side-channel, Denial-of-Service (DoS), and cold-boot attacks.

Against this backdrop, the industry is introducing new DRAM security solutions that require independent scrutiny from the academia. Academia continues to propose novel fixes for RowHammer, often without the benefit of insight into constraints faced by the industry.

Registration and workshop program

DRAMSec 2026 is co-hosted with ISCA. Information on registration for the workshops can be found on the conference website here. We are investigating whether we can support hybrid participation for DRAMSec 2026, which would allow registered workshop attendees to join remotely. Please check back here for more information.
