Hardware support for dynamic analysis can minimize the performance overhead of useful applications such as security checks, debugging, and profiling. To eliminate implementation ...
This paper presents FlexiTaint, a hardware accelerator for dynamic taint propagation. FlexiTaint is implemented as an in-order addition to the back-end of the processor pipeline, ...
