Project
Protected execution: from physically unclonable functions to virtual machines
We plan to diversify instruction set architectures by means of physically unclonable functions. Through compiler technology and virtual machines to be developed in this project, we will develop support for generating and running software on the diversified architectures. Each processor and each application for each processor then become unique, because of which they become protected against reverse-engineering and tampering.
