Low-Overhead Total Memory Encryption and Authentication on a RISC-V Processor
摘要
This work presents a Total Memory Encryption and Authentication (TMEA) cache, implemented on a RISC-V processor, designed to protect against memory subsystem attacks. The industry-standard AES-GCM authenticated encryption algorithm, the proposed TMEA cache, transparently secures the confidentiality and integrity of every cache line. As a result, the evaluation shows that this robust security solution has minimal performance impact, introducing less than 4% overhead.
