Trustworthy computing on untrustworthy and Trojan-infected on-chip interconnects

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

This paper introduces a scheme for achieving trustworthy computing on SoCs that use an outsourced AXI inter-connect for on-chip communication. This is achieved through component guarding, data tagging, event verification, and consequently responding dynamically to an attack. Experimental results confirm the ability of the proposed scheme to detect HT attacks and respond to them at run-time. The proposed scheme extends the state-of-art in trustworthy computing on untrustworthy components by focusing on the issue of an untrusted on-chip interconnect for the first time, and by developing a scheme that is independent of untrusted third-party IP.
