Software Hardening is the process of securing software by reducing its attack surface and increasing its resilience against exploitation. This involves disabling unnecessary features, removing default credentials, applying security patches promptly, and configuring systems to minimize potential vulnerabilities. Hardened software is less susceptible to unauthorized access and malicious manipulation.
Context
Software hardening is a continuous practice essential for the secure operation of blockchain nodes, wallets, and decentralized applications. Discussions often focus on the implementation of best practices for securing critical infrastructure components and ensuring that deployed software remains robust against emerging threats.
A novel compiler and security property enable cryptographic libraries to dynamically adapt protections against side-channel attacks, optimizing both security and performance for specific applications.
