Performance Impact of Control Flow Enforcement Technology (CET)
Michał Kucab, Piotr Boryło, Piotr Chołda · 2022
The application flow integrity plays a critical role in proper system behavior. Unfortunately, taking over the control of the flow is still difficult to detect. We evaluate the performance of hardware support for the application flow integrity control. A solution is based on platform capabilities and is said to overcome existing limitations met in similar systems. Our results show that overhead is acceptable and with minimal effort, the solution can be successfully used in practical applications.
