Domain-Oriented Masked Instruction Set Architecture for RISC-V
Pantea Kiaei and Patrick Schaumont
Abstract
An important selling point for the RISC-V instruction set is the separation between ISA and the implementation of the ISA, leading to flexibility in the design. We argue that for secure implementations, this flexibility is often a vulnerability. With a hardware attacker, the side-effects of instruction execution cannot be ignored. As a result, a strict separation between the ISA interface and implementation is undesirable. We suggest that secure ISA may require additional implementation constraints. As an example, we describe an instruction-set for the development of power side-channel resistant software.
