Abstract
Merkle hash trees are used to protect the integrity of data sets, against all kinds of attacks, including replay. They usually imply a significant storage and performance overhead. This paper introduces several proposals (hollow trees, dedicated caches) to mitigate these overheads. They have been implemented in SecBus, a software / hardware architecture protecting the external memories of a System-on-Chip.
