control flow integrity

Control flow integrity is a security mechanism that protects against control-flow hijacking attacks by ensuring that a program's control flow follows a specific path determined at compile time. It monitors the flow of execution in a program to detect any deviations from the intended path, such as buffer overflows or return-oriented programming attacks. By enforcing control flow integrity, the system can prevent attackers from manipulating the program's behavior and executing malicious code.
