title = "A software based approach to achieving optimal performance for signature control flow checking",
abstract = "The authors present a software-based approach that uses run-time program behavior to minimize the performance overhead in signature control flow checking. In general, for both RISC (reduced-instruction-set-computer) and CISC (complex-instruction-set-computer) architectures, it is found that using run-time information can reduce the performance overhead by 50%. For the MC68000, the performance overhead for adding justifying and reference signatures to the program code is approximately 2.8%. In addition to optimizing the performance, the authors' approach does not increase the hardware complexity of the monitor. Furthermore, an O(N2) algorithm which inserts justifying signatures on the arcs of the program control flow graph with N nodes is presented. It is shown that the algorithm complexity of previous schemes which insert justifying signatures in the program nodes is exponential.",
