Patching FPGAs: The Security Implications of Bitstream Modifications
Endres Puschner, Maik Ender, Steffen Becker +1
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are known for their reprogrammability that allows for post-manufacture circuitry changes. Nowadays, they are integral to a variety of systems…
JustSTART: How to Find an RSA Authentication Bypass on Xilinx UltraScale(+) with Fuzzing
Maik Ender, Felix Hahn, Marc Fyrbiak +2
Fuzzing is a well-established technique in the software domain to uncover bugs and vulnerabilities. Yet, applications of fuzzing for security vulnerabilities in hardware systems ar…
How Not to Protect Your IP -- An Industry-Wide Break of IEEE 1735 Implementations
Julian Speith, Florian Schweins, Maik Ender +3
Modern hardware systems are composed of a variety of third-party Intellectual Property (IP) cores to implement their overall functionality. Since hardware design is a globalized pr…
The Unpatchable Silicon: A Full Break of the Bitstream Encryption of Xilinx 7-Series FPGAs
Maik Ender, Amir Moradi, Christof Paar
The security of FPGAs is a crucial topic, as any vulnerability within the hardware can have severe consequences, if they are used in a secure design. Since FPGA designs are encoded…
Insights into the Mind of a Trojan Designer: The Challenge to Integrate a Trojan into the Bitstream
Maik Ender, Pawel Swierczynski, Sebastian Wallat +3
The threat of inserting hardware Trojans during the design, production, or in-field poses a danger for integrated circuits in real-world applications. A particular critical case of…
Highway to HAL: Open-Sourcing the First Extendable Gate-Level Netlist Reverse Engineering Framework
Sebastian Wallat, Nils Albartus, Steffen Becker +6
Since hardware oftentimes serves as the root of trust in our modern interconnected world, malicious hardware manipulations constitute a ubiquitous threat in the context of the Inte…
