As modern computer systems become more complex and interconnected, we are seeing more vulnerabilities than ever before. As attacks become more pervasive and sophisticated, they are often progressing past the software layer and compromising hardware. As a response, the industry has been working to deliver microarchitectural improvements and today, implementing hardware-based security is widely recognized as a best practice.
However, hardware-based security has its own set of challenges when not designed, implemented or verified properly. Combined with the fact that we are seeing increasingly sophisticated methods to exploit hardware by chaining them together with software vulnerabilities, it’s evident that the industry needs a better and more in-depth understanding of the common hardware security vulnerabilities taxonomy, including information on how these vulnerabilities get introduced into products, how they can be exploited, their associated risks, as well as be ..
