CVE-2017-13095: The P1735 IEEE standard describes flawed methods for encrypting electronic-design intellectual property (IP), including modification of a license-deny response to a license grant

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects trust in IEEE P1735-protected electronic design IP. The described flaws can let an attacker bypass access controls, such as changing a license denial into a grant, and in severe cases recover plaintext IP without the key. Exposure is most likely for semiconductor, FPGA, EDA, or IP-provider workflows that create, exchange, or consume encrypted electronic-design IP using IEEE P1735. Prioritize if the organization develops, licenses, or receives valuable electronic design IP. The business risk is loss of confidential design assets and license-control bypass, but urgency depends on actual P1735 use. Mitigation focus: Identify whether IEEE P1735 is used in design IP workflows.; Check EDA and IP vendor guidance for affected implementations and updates.; Do not rely on P1735 encryption alone for IP confidentiality..
