On the General Applicability of Instruction-Set Randomization
We describe Instruction-Set Randomization (ISR), a general approach for safeguarding systems against any type of code-injection attack. We apply Kerckhoffs' principle to creat...

Compile-time decided instruction cache locking using worst-case execution paths
Caches are notorious for their unpredictability. It is difficult or even impossible to predict if a memory access results in a definite cache hit or miss. This unpredictability i...

OS-aware tuning: improving instruction cache energy efficiency on system workloads
Low power has been considered as an important issue in instruction cache (I-cache) designs. Several studies have shown that the I-cache can be tuned to reduce power. These techniq...

Cache Contents Selection for Statically-Locked Instruction Caches: An Algorithm Comparison
Cache memories have been extensively used to bridge the gap between high speed processors and relatively slower main memories. However, they are sources of predictability problems...
