SUSE Labs Conference 2019 - Pointer Authentication (again!)
Channel: SUSE Labs
Date: 2019-09-17

None

Last time we were at SUSE Labs we introduced pointer authentication, a mechanism to protect against return-oriented programming by cryptographically signing and authenticating pointers.

Providing support for this in userspace has involved a lot of moving parts, however.

In this talk I aim to cover where we are now with pointer authentication in terms of tool support along with upcoming enhancements.
