SA-SPM: an efficient compiler for security aware scratchpad memory (invited paper)
Thomas Haywood Dadzie, Jiwon Lee, Jihye Kim, Hyunok Oh · 2019
Scratchpad memories (SPM) are often used to boost the performance of application-specific embedded systems. In embedded systems, main memories are vulnerable to external attacks such as bus snooping or memory extraction. Therefore it is desirable to guarantee the security of data in a main memory. In software-managed SPM, it is possible to provide security in main memory by performing software-assistant encryption.
