Monitoring the Execution of Cryptographic Functions

EasyChair Preprint 15482

Abstract

We propose a new framework for the analysis of program execution, devoted to identifying cryptographic functions and retrieving cryptographic secrets. The need for a new tool arises from our experimental observation that the generic analysis tools are clearly too intrusive / resource-consuming for the inspected process, leading to failures such as timeouts. Thus our aim is to build dynamic monitoring tools as lightweight as possible to inspect the execution of sensitive code without impacting the execution.

Keyphrases: Cryptanalysis, binary vulnerability, reverse engineering
