The growing need for speed of recent embedded systems leads to the adoption of the high
speed communication PCIe protocol (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) as an
internal data bus. This technology is used in some recent smartphones, and will be probably
adopted by the others in the next few years. The communication between the SoC and its
memory through the PCIe bus represent an important source of information for criminal
investigations. In this paper, we present a new reliable attack vector on PCIe. We chose to …

The growing need for high rate communication of recent embedded systems is leading to
the adoption of the PCIe protocol (Peripheral Component Interconnect express) as an
