Memory corruption errors in C/C++ programs remain the most common source of security
vulnerabilities in today's systems. Control-flow hijacking attacks exploit memory corruption …

In the era of the internet of things (IoT), software-enabled inter-connected devices are of
paramount importance. The embedded systems are very frequently used in both security …

While deep learning has shown a great potential in various domains, the lack of
transparency has limited its application in security or safety-critical areas. Existing research …

As control-flow hijacking defenses gain adoption, it is important to understand the remaining
capabilities of adversaries via memory exploits. Non-control data exploits are used to mount …

Control-Flow Bending: On the Effectiveness of Control-Flow Integrity Page 1 Open access to

systems to modern information and communication technology (ICT)-based systems …

In this chapter, we describe code-pointer integrity (CPI), a new design point that guarantees
the integrity of all code pointers in a program (eg, function pointers, saved return addresses) …

Code reuse attacks such as return-oriented programming (ROP) have become prevalent
techniques to exploit memory corruption vulnerabilities in software programs. A variety of …

Remote attestation is a crucial security service particularly relevant to increasingly popular
IoT (and other embedded) devices. It allows a trusted party (verifier) to learn the state of a …

Constraining dynamic control transfers is a common technique for mitigating software
vulnerabilities. This defense has been widely and successfully used to protect return …
