HAL -- An Open-Source Framework for Gate-Level Netlist Analysis

Julian Speith, Jörn Langheinrich, Marc Fyrbiak +7

HAL is an open-source framework for gate-level netlist analysis, an integral step in hardware reverse engineering. It provides analysts with an interactive GUI, an extensible plugi…

ARMORY: Fully Automated and Exhaustive Fault Simulation on ARM-M Binaries

Max Hoffmann, Falk Schellenberg, Christof Paar

Embedded systems are ubiquitous. However, physical access of users and likewise attackers makes them often threatened by fault attacks: a single fault during the computation of a c…

Stealthy Opaque Predicates in Hardware -- Obfuscating Constant Expressions at Negligible Overhead

Max Hoffmann, Christof Paar

Opaque predicates are a well-established fundamental building block for software obfuscation. Simplified, an opaque predicate implements an expression that provides constant Boolea…

Towards Cognitive Obfuscation: Impeding Hardware Reverse Engineering Based on Psychological Insights

Carina Wiesen, Nils Albartus, Max Hoffmann +5

In contrast to software reverse engineering, there are hardly any tools available that support hardware reversing. Therefore, the reversing process is conducted by human analysts c…
