Simon Klix, Nils Albartus, Julian Speith +9
Intellectual Property (IP) theft is a cause of major financial and reputational damage, reportedly in the range of hundreds of billions of dollars annually in the U.S. alone. Field…
An Exploratory Analysis of Microcode as a Building Block for System Defenses
Benjamin Kollenda, Philipp Koppe, Marc Fyrbiak +3
Microcode is an abstraction layer used by modern x86 processors that interprets user-visible CISC instructions to hardware-internal RISC instructions. The capability to update x86…
Hardware Reverse Engineering: Overview and Open Challenges
Marc Fyrbiak, Sebastian Strauß, Christian Kison +4
Hardware reverse engineering is a universal tool for both legitimate and illegitimate purposes. On the one hand, it supports confirmation of IP infringement and detection of circui…
Reverse Engineering x86 Processor Microcode
Philipp Koppe, Benjamin Kollenda, Marc Fyrbiak +4
Microcode is an abstraction layer on top of the physical components of a CPU and present in most general-purpose CPUs today. In addition to facilitate complex and vast instruction…
