Inter-block jump detection techniques: A study

This paper presents a study of inter-block jump detection techniques. The CFCSS, RSCFC, SEDSR, SCFC, ECCA, YACCA and SIED techniques were considered. The conducted experiments measure criteria such as detection ratio, run-time and code-size overhead. Next, those criteria are combined and evaluated to determine the best technique. Finally, our results reveal that CFCSS makes the best trade-off between fault detection and overhead for the implemented case studies.
