CVE-2017-13097
The P1735 IEEE standard describes flawed methods for encrypting electronic-design intellectual property (IP), including modification of Rights Block to remove or relax license requirement
In short
The IEEE P1735 standard for protecting electronic design files has serious flaws in its encryption methods. Attackers can potentially recover the original files without having the proper decryption key, making the protection ineffective.
Technical detail
CVE-2017-13097 exposes cryptographic weaknesses in IEEE P1735 implementations used for encrypting electronic-design IP. The standard's flawed encryption and Rights Block management allow attackers to recover plaintext IP through cryptanalytic attacks without possession of the encryption key, and enable modification of license restrictions to bypass access controls.
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 license requirement. 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.
