CVE-2017-13096
The P1735 IEEE standard describes flawed methods for encrypting electronic-design intellectual property (IP), including modification of Rights Block to remove or relax access control
In short
The IEEE P1735 standard for protecting electronic design files has serious flaws in its encryption methods that can allow attackers to recover the original unencrypted files without having the proper access key. This puts valuable proprietary designs at risk of theft.
Technical detail
IEEE P1735 implementations are vulnerable to cryptographic attacks due to weak encryption methods and flawed access control mechanisms in the Rights Block. An attacker can exploit these weaknesses to recover plaintext IP without possessing the encryption key, potentially through manipulation of access control restrictions or direct cryptanalysis of the cipher.
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 Rights Block to remove or relax access control. 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.
