With the improvements in computing technologies, edge devices in the
Internet-of-Things have become more complex. The enabler technology for these
complex systems are powerful application core processors with operating system
support, such as Linux. While the isolation of applications through the
operating system increases the security, the interface to the kernel poses a
new threat. Different attack vectors, including fault attacks and memory
vulnerabilities, exploit the kernel interface to escalate privileges and take
over the system.
In this work, we …
