- Additional information
- This is the first paper that analyses the application/feasibility of Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) attacks on the highly significant RISC-V architecture. It provides a realistic threat model and attack vector, through a new class of gadgets, that demonsrate that ROP attacks are not a theoretical exercise but a real danger. A significant contribution is the proof-of-concept implementation along with the highly realistic mitigations. The paper is based on international collaboration with colleagues from École Normale Supérieure (ENS) Paris. It is also the basis of a newly developed EPSRC proposal on "Side-Channel Resilient, Secure, Trusted and Encrypted Execution Framework" RISC-V architectures.
