With embedded devices becoming more pervasive and entrenched in society, it is
paramount to keep these systems secure. A threat plaguing these systems consists of …

P4 introduces a standardized, universal way for data plane programming. Secure and
resilient communication typically involves the processing of payload data and specialized …

Traffic engineering (TE) functionality aims to control and fine-tune the routing configuration
and bandwidth allocation in order to optimize the use of network resources and avoid the …

In this paper, we propose a new hardware-supported lightweight control flow integrity check
method in RISC architecture processors, which resists code reuse attacks with negligible …

Control-flow integrity (CFI) is considered as a general and promising method to prevent
code-reuse attacks, which utilize benign code sequences to realize arbitrary computation …

Modern processors have suffered a deluge of threats exploiting branch instruction collisions
inside the branch prediction unit (BPU), from eavesdropping on secret-related branch …

Once started, existing hash tables cannot change their pre-defined hash functions, even if
the incoming data cannot be evenly distributed to the hash table buckets. In this paper, we …

Conflict-based cache side-channel attacks against the last-level cache (LLC) is a widely
exploited method for information leaking. Cache randomization has recently been accepted …

With the growth in number and significance of the emerging applications that require
extremely low latencies, network operators are facing increasing need to perform latency …

Modern microprocessors contain several special function units (SFUs) such as specialized
arithmetic units, cryptographic processors, etc. In recent times, applications such as cloud …
