$ git clone https://github.com/aditya-wate/cross-vm-side-channel.git

1. Navigate to 'sync' directory from repo root

$ cd sync

2. Execute Makefile

$ make

3. It will generate a dynamic library 'libsync.so'. Copy it to '/usr/local/lib.' Also copy the header file to the include directory

$ sudo cp libsync.so /usr/local/lib
$ sudo cp sync.h /usr/include

1. Navigate to 'cross-vm' directory from repo root

$ cd cross-vm

2. Execute Makefile

$ make

1. libsync library requires label file location. Environment variable LABEL_FILE should be set first.

$ export LABEL_FILE=<location of the file>

2. Run the spy binary

$ ./spy

This will generate a label file as specified in step 1, also a binary file namee 'timings.bin' in the current directory.

The number of times the spy needs to be executed should be set in measurement.c. Change the value of const int n on line # 11 to the number of times the prime and probe process needs to be executed. Change the value of op->e on line # 68 to change the exponent value.
