Mitigation Of Denial Of Service Attack With Hardware Trojans In Noc Architectures
2016 IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS)(2016)
摘要
As Multiprocessor System-on-Chips (MPSoCs) continue to scale, security for Network-on-Chips (NoCs) is a growing concern as rogue agents threaten to infringe on the hardware's trust and maliciously implant Hardware Trojans (HTs) to undermine their reliability. The trustworthiness of MPSoCs will rely on our ability to detect Denial-of-Service (DoS) threats posed by the HTs and mitigate HTs in a compromised NoC to permit graceful network degradation. In this paper, we propose a new light-weight target-activated sequential payload (TASP) HT model that performs packet inspection and injects faults to create a new type of DoS attack. Faults injected are used to trigger a response from error correction code (ECC) schemes and cause repeated retransmission to starve network resources and create deadlocks capable of rendering singleapplication to full chip failures. To circumvent the threat of HTs, we propose a heuristic threat detection model to classify faults and discover HTs within compromised links. To prevent further disruption, we propose several switch-to-switch link obfuscation methods to avoid triggering of HTs in an effort to continue using links instead of rerouting packets with minimal overhead (1-3 cycles). Our proposed modifications complement existing fault detection and obfuscation methods and only adds 2% in area overhead and 6% in excess power consumption in the NoC micro-architecture.
