"FH-CFI: Fine-grained hardware-assisted control flow integrity for ARM-" by Anmin Fu, Weijia Ding et al.
Code reuse attacks (CRAs), such as return-oriented programming (ROP) and jump-oriented programming (JOP) attacks, have become a great threat to the runtime security of ARM-based Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Attackers can utilize CRAs to hijack the control flow of programs in ARM-based IoT devices to make them perform malicious actions without injecting any codes. Control flow integrity (CFI) is an important cornerstone for the security of ARM-based IoT devices, as it enforces the correct control flow of devices and defends against CRAs. However, coarse-grained CFI schemes suffer from secu...
