A Survey of Techniques for Improving Security of GPUs
Graphics processing unit (GPU), although a powerful performance-booster, also
has many security vulnerabilities. Due to these, the GPU can act as a
safe-haven for stealthy malware and the weakest `link' in the security `chain'.
In this paper, we present a survey of techniques for analyzing and improving
GPU security. We classify the works on key attributes to highlight their
similarities and differences. More than informing users and researchers about
GPU security techniques, this survey aims to increase their awareness about GPU
security vulnerabilities and potential countermeasures
