Impact of selectively implementing control flow error detection techniques

Many software-implemented control flow error detection techniques have been proposed over the years. In an effort to reduce their overhead, recent research has focused on selective approaches. However, correctly applying these approaches can be difficult because their respective literature gives little guidance on the practical implementation. This paper aims to address this concern and proposes a new approach. Our new approach is easier to implement and is applicable on any existing control flow error detection technique. To prove its validity, we apply our new approach to five different control flow error detection techniques and perform fault injection experiments. The results show that the selective implementation, while decreasing the imposed overhead, can have a negative impact on error detection ratio.
