CVE-2017-13094
The P1735 IEEE standard describes flawed methods for encrypting electronic-design intellectual property (IP), including modification of the encryption key and insertion of hardware trojans in any IP
In short
The IEEE P1735 standard for protecting electronic design files has serious flaws that allow attackers to recover the original unencrypted files or insert malicious hardware code. This puts valuable intellectual property at risk of theft or sabotage.
Technical detail
IEEE P1735 implementations use flawed encryption methods for electronic-design IP that are vulnerable to cryptographic attacks enabling plaintext recovery without the encryption key, and permit unauthorized modification of encryption keys and insertion of hardware trojans. The standard's weaknesses in access control and key management create multiple attack vectors for IP theft and compromise.
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 the encryption key and insertion of hardware trojans in any IP. 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.
