Algorithmic Complexity (AC) Denial-of-Service attacks have been a threat for over twenty
years. Attackers craft particular input vectors to trigger the worst-case logic of some code …

Abstract Software Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks use maliciously crafted inputs aiming to
exhaust available resources of the target software. These application-level DoS attacks have …

This paper considers and validates the applicability of leveraging pervasively-available
performance counters for detecting and reasoning about security breaches. Our key …

Hardware architectural vulnerabilities, such as Spectre and Meltdown, are difficult or
inefficient to mitigate in software. Although revised hardware designs may address some …

Use-after-free vulnerabilities remain difficult to detect and mitigate, making them a popular
source of exploitation. Existing solutions incur impractical performance/memory overhead …

Denial of service (DoS) attacks have increasingly exploited vulnerabilities in algorithms or
implementation methods in application-layer programs. In this type of attack, called CPU …

Detecting unexpected changes in a system's runtime environment is critical to resilience. A
repurposing of System Management Mode (SMM) for runtime security inspections has been …

Malicious payload injection attacks have been a serious threat to software for decades.
Unfortunately, protection against these attacks remains challenging due to the ever …
