Protecting Cryptographic Libraries against Side-Channel and Code-Reuse Attacks

TL;DR

This work examines popular cryptographic libraries in terms of the security measures they implement, pinpoint security vulnerabilities, and suggest security improvements in their development process.

Abstract

Cryptographic libraries, an essential part of cybersecurity, are shown to be susceptible to different types of attacks, including side-channel and memory-corruption attacks. In this article, we examine popular cryptographic libraries in terms of the security measures they implement, pinpoint security vulnerabilities, and suggest security improvements in their development process.
