In short

The IEEE P1735 standard for encrypting electronic design files has critical flaws that allow attackers to recover the original unencrypted files without knowing the encryption key, potentially exposing valuable intellectual property.

Technical detail

CVE-2017-13092 exploits weaknesses in the P1735 standard's encryption methods and HDL syntax specification, enabling attackers to use EDA tools as decryption oracles to mount cryptographic attacks and recover plaintext IP. The vulnerability affects implementations relying on P1735 encryption for protecting proprietary design data, allowing unauthorized access to intellectual property without possession of the encryption key.

Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
The P1735 IEEE standard describes flawed methods for encrypting electronic-design intellectual property (IP), as well as the management of access rights for such IP, including improperly specified HDL syntax allows use of an EDA tool as a decryption oracle. The methods are flawed and, in the most egregious cases, enable attack vectors that allow recovery of the entire underlying plaintext IP. Implementations of IEEE P1735 may be weak to cryptographic attacks that allow an attacker to obtain plaintext intellectual property without the key, among other impacts.
