Developing Anti-tamper Functionalities through Continuous Integration

Anti-tamper is the security engineering activity that frustrates or prevents the reverse-engineering or modification of the computing devices. As the number of advanced computing devices such as autonomous vehicles and robots increases, the necessity of anti-tamper functionality is also increasing so that sensitive information or intellectual property stored in the devices are not leaked by reverse engineering. In this paper, we study a continuous integration development environment that can effectively apply anti-tamper functionality during the development of computing device. Proposed anti-tamper automation in continuous integration development environment can reduce development cost and time burden by eliminating manual anti-tamper implementation activity.
