CellIFT: Leveraging Cells for Scalable and Precise Dynamic Information Flow Tracking in RTL

No ratings

Presented at USENIX Security 2022 by

Dynamic Information Flow Tracking (dynamic IFT) is a well-known technique with many security applications such as analyzing the behavior of a system given an input and detecting security violations. While there are many widely used open dynamic IFT solutions that scale to large software, the same level of support is unfortunately lacking for hardware. This gap is becoming more pronounced with the increasing complexity of open-source hardware and the plethora of recent hardware attacks.
