Software Protection to Fight through an Attack

This project proposes the research and development of an adaptive co-execution based hardware-assisted software-protection system. In this system, critical software components and data are moved in and out-of-band depending on whether an attack is ongoing or not and its severity. This adaptivity is controlled by a sophisticated and unique threat modeling and detection system, as well as, novel evasion techniques enabling fighting through and attack. The proposed solution will considerably improve the security provided by current state-of-the-art software protection solutions and will provide a means for software to remain operational and trustworthy during an attack.
