Information flow control (also known as Dynamic Information Flow Tracking, DIFT), allows a user to detect several types of software attacks such as buffer overflow or SQL injections. In this thesis, a solution based on the ARM Cortex-A9 processor family is proposed. Our approach relies on the use of ARM CoreSight components, which are able to trace software as executed by the processor in order to perform the information flow tracking. The DIFT coprocessor proposed in this thesis is implemented in an Artix-7 FPGA, embedded in a System-on-Chip (SoC) Zynq provided by Xilinx. It is shown that using ARM CoreSight components does not add a latency overhead while giving a better communication time between the ARM processor and the DIFT coprocesso...
