Abstract

Dynamic taint analysis is a widely used information flow analysis method. The software structure supporting dynamic taint analysis needs running program to monitor the spread of taint, which will bring a large running time overhead. The architecture based on hardware implementation can shorten the running time overhead of taint analysis through hardware modification, which has great research significance. Firstly, we introduced the research background and significance of hardware. Then, we describe the problems of providing support structure for dynamic taint analysis based on software and how to solve or alleviate these problems in hardware architecture on the basis of the introduction of the specific classification and structure of hardware architecture. Finally, on the basis of comparing the characteristics of hardware structure from different dimensions, the future research direction of hardware structure is prospected.
