title = "EvoIsolator: Evolving program slices for hardware isolation based security",
abstract = "To provide strong security support for today{\textquoteright}s applications, microprocessor manufacturers have introduced hardware isolation, an on-chip mechanism that provides secure accesses to sensitive data. Currently, hardware isolation is still difficult to use by software developers because the process to identify access points to sensitive data is error-prone and can lead to under and over protection of sensitive data. Under protection can lead to security vulnerabilities. Over protection can lead to an increased attack surface and excessive communication overhead. In this paper we describe EvoIsolator, a search-based framework to (i) automatically generate executable minimal slices that include all access points to a set of specified sensitive data; and (ii) automatically optimize (for small code block size and low communication overhead) the code modules for hardware isolation. We demonstrate, through a small feasibility study, the potential impact of our proposed code optimizer.",
