Project Abstract

Security is the cornerstone of every system. With Arm rising as a global force in the chip industry and providing hardware solutions to security problems in the form of the Morello chip, it is important to pioneer accompanying software to ensure robust security. The goal is to create and test multiple runtime verification techniques to detect target malware on the Morello system ?�� something not yet researched. The project primarily uses the Morello Fixed Virtual Platform and on-site System-on-Chip (SoC) to assist this effort. This project has produced example malware, offline and online monitors of different flavours, and a custom monitor ?�� all of which can successfully identify and combat malware. The outcome has shown that by combining cutting-edge security hardware, and software that can dynamically identify malware behaviour, the Morello SoC can identify any behaviour and react vigorously to create an iron-clad, secure environment.
