\begin{abstract}
Write here one or two paragraphs about what you will treat in the current paper:
topic,
methods,
solutions,
comparison results etc.
\end{abstract}
%---------------------------------------------------------
\section{Introduction}
In this section you introduce the problem and existing research or similar results in the field.
When citing remember you can use the quotes button from \url{https://scholar.google.com} to get the bibtex entry.
In this article we are going to investigate side-channel attacks~\cite{kocher96_timing}
with focus on cache implementations~\cite{lipp18_meltdown}.
%---------------------------------------------------------
\section{Technical description of the problem}
In this section you describe the technical details of the articles you surveyed.
Here is Algorithm~\ref{alg:attack}
%---------------
\begin{algorithm}[t]
\caption{Attack Algorithm}
\label{alg:attack}
\DontPrintSemicolon
\medskip
\KwData {samples, $Y \in \mathcal{R}^{m \times N}$
\newline number of iterations $I$}
\KwResult{secret, $S$}
\medskip
Initialize: $D = \emptyset $, $S = 0$ \;
\For {$i = 1:I$}{
Initialize iteration dictionary $D_{i}$ \;
Compose $D = D \cup D_{i}$ \;
Compute $X$ \;
\If {$i = 1$ } {
Compute error threshold $ e_{mean} = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i = 1}^{N} e_i$\;
}
Update $\mathcal{A} = \{y_i \mid e_i > e_{mean}\}$ \;
}
Secret estimates $l_i = 1$ if $y_i \in \mathcal{A}$
\end{algorithm}
%---------------
%---------------------------------------------------------
\section{Possible solution}
Here you describe possible solutions or workarounds to the problems described in the former section.
Here is Equation~\eref{eq:solution}
%-------------------
\begin{equation}
D \leftarrow D + \alpha ru^T
\label{eq:solution}
\end{equation}

\section{Experiments and Results}
In this section you depict the manifestation of the vulnerabilities and the effect of the proposed solutions on dampening the attack effect.
Look at our experiments in
Figure~\ref{fig:experiment1}
and
Table~\ref{tab:experiment2}
%---------------

\section{Conclusion}
In this section sum-up what you presented
and talk a bit about what you found in the results section.
This differs from the abstract because now you can assume that the reader has processed the entire paper,
whereas in the abstract you were only baiting him into reading it.
In the abstract he does not posses the knowledge that he has now.
Otherwise abstract and conclusions are pretty similar in length and description.
