PSOFuzz: Fuzzing Processors with Particle Swarm Optimization. (arXiv:2307.14480v1 [cs.CR])

Hardware security vulnerabilities in computing systems compromise the
security defenses of not only the hardware but also the software running on it.
Recent research has shown that hardware fuzzing is a promising technique to
efficiently detect such vulnerabilities in large-scale designs such as modern
processors. However, the current fuzzing techniques do not adjust their
strategies dynamically toward faster and higher design space exploration,
resulting in slow vulnerability detection, evident through their low design
coverage. To address this problem, we propose …
