Abstract :
Multiprocessor system on chip (MPSoC) architecture is rapidly gaining momentum for modern embedded devices. The vulnerabilities in software on MPSoCs are often exploited to cause software attacks, which are the most common type of attacks on embedded systems. Therefore, we propose an MPSoC architectural framework, CUFFS, for an application specific instruction set processor (ASIP) design that has a dedicated security processor called iGuard for detecting software attacks.
