CVE-2017-13093
The P1735 IEEE standard describes flawed methods for encrypting electronic-design intellectual property (IP), including modification of encrypted IP cyphertext to insert hardware trojans
In short
The IEEE P1735 standard for encrypting chip designs has serious flaws that can allow attackers to recover the original design or insert malicious hardware components, even without the encryption key.
Technical detail
CVE-2017-13093 exploits cryptographic weaknesses in IEEE P1735 implementations used for protecting electronic-design IP. Attack vectors include plaintext recovery through cryptographic attacks and ciphertext modification to inject hardware trojans, with pre-conditions requiring access to encrypted IP and no key material needed for certain exploitation paths.
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 modification of encrypted IP cyphertext to insert hardware trojans. 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.
