Kronos : verifying leak-free reset for a system-on-chip with multiple clock domains
Notary [3] uses formal verification to prove a hardware-level security property called deterministic start for a simple system-on-chip (SoC). Deterministic start requires that an SoC's state is fully reset by boot code to ensure that secrets cannot leak across reset boundaries. However, Notary's …
