text: Verification of software and processor hardware usually proceeds separately,
software analysis relying on the correctness of processors executing machine instructions.
This assumption is valid as long as the software runs on standard CPUs that have
been extensively validated and are in wide use. However, for processors exploiting
custom instruction set extensions to meet performance and energy constraints the
validation might be less extensive, challenging the correctness assumption. In
this paper we present a novel formal approach for hardware/software co-verification
targeting processors with custom instruction set extensions. We detail two different
approaches for checking whether the hardware fulfills the requirements expected
by the software analysis. The approaches are designed to explore a trade-off between
generality of the verification and computational effort. Then, we describe the
integration of software and hardware analyses for both techniques and describe
a fully automated tool chain implementing the approaches. Finally, we demonstrate
and compare the two approaches on example source code with custom instructions,
using state-of-the-art software analysis and hardware verification techniques.

text: The battle of developing hardware Trojans and corresponding countermeasures
has taken adversaries towards ingenious ways of compromising hardware designs
by circumventing even advanced testing and verification methods. Besides conventional
methods of inserting Trojans into a design by a malicious entity, the design flow
for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) can also be surreptitiously compromised
to assist the attacker to perform a successful malfunctioning or information leakage
attack. The advanced stealthy malicious look-up-table (LUT) attack activates a
Trojan only when generating the FPGA bitstream and can thus not be detected by
register transfer and gate level testing and verification. However, also this
attack was recently revealed by a bitstream-level proof-carrying hardware (PCH)
approach. In this paper, we present a novel attack that leverages malicious routing
of the inserted Trojan circuit to acquire a dormant state even in the generated
and transmitted bitstream. The Trojan's payload is connected to primary inputs/outputs
of the FPGA via a programmable interconnect point (PIP). The Trojan is detached
from inputs/outputs during place-and-route and re-connected only when the FPGA
is being programmed, thus activating the Trojan circuit without any need for a
trigger logic. Since the Trojan is injected in a post-synthesis step and remains
unconnected in the bitstream, the presented attack can currently neither be prevented
by conventional testing and verification methods nor by recent bitstream-level
verification techniques.

an efficient computation is of interest. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs)
for example can provide fast and efficient processing and the Robot Operating
System (ROS) is a popular\r\nmiddleware used for robotic applications. The novel
ReconROS combines version 2 of the Robot Operating System with ReconOS, a framework
for integrating reconfigurable hardware. It provides a unified interface between
software and hardware. ReconROS is evaluated in this thesis by implementing a
Sobel filter as the video processing application, running on a Zynq-7000 series
System on Chip. Timing measurements were taken of execution and transfer times
and were compared to theoretical values. Designing the hardware implementation
is done by C code using High Level Synthesis and with the interface and functionality
provided by ReconROS. An important aspect is the publish/subscribe mechanism of
ROS. The Operating System interface functions for publishing and subscribing are
reasonably fast at below 10 ms for a 1 MB color VGA image. The main memory interface
performs well at higher data sizes, crossing 100 MB/s at 20 kB and increasing
to a maximum of around 150 MB/s. Furthermore, the hardware implementation introduces
consistency to the execution times and performs twice as fast as the software
implementation."

text: 'Approximate circuits trade-off computational accuracy against improvements
in hardware area, delay, or energy consumption. IP core vendors who wish to create
such circuits need to convince consumers of the resulting approximation quality.
As a solution we propose proof-carrying approximate circuits: The vendor creates
an approximate IP core together with a certificate that proves the approximation
quality. The proof certificate is bundled with the approximate IP core and sent
off to the consumer. The consumer can formally verify the approximation quality
of the IP core at a fraction of the typical computational cost for formal verification.
In this paper, we first make the case for proof-carrying approximate circuits
and then demonstrate the feasibility of the approach by a set of synthesis experiments
using an exemplary approximation framework.'
