Thwarting Code-Reuse and Side-Channel Attacks in Embedded Systems. (arXiv:2304.13458v1 [cs.CR])
cs.CR updates on arXiv.org arxiv.org
Nowadays, embedded devices are increasingly present in everyday life, often
controlling and processing critical information. For this reason, these devices
make use of cryptographic protocols. However, embedded devices are particularly
vulnerable to attackers seeking to hijack their operation and extract sensitive
information. Code-Reuse Attacks (CRAs) can steer the execution of a program to
malicious outcomes, leveraging existing on-board code without direct access to
the device memory. Moreover, Side-Channel Attacks (SCAs) may reveal secret
information to the attacker based on mere …
