During compilation from Java source code to bytecode, some information is irreversibly lost.
In other words, compilation and decompilation of Java code is not symmetric. Consequently …

With the increasing popularity and complexity of containerized software systems, satisfying
the performance requirements of these systems becomes more challenging as well. While a …

Despite its obvious benefits, the increased adoption of package managers to automate the
reuse of libraries has opened the door to a new class of hazards: supply chain attacks. By …

In the ever-shifting landscape of software engineering, continuous adaptation is essential for
maintaining system dependability. Software iterations often introduce new challenges, such …

One of the main challenges of N-Version Programming is development cost: it requires
paying multiple teams to develop variants of the same system. To address this issue, we …

Thanks to the emergence of package managers and online software repositories, modern
software development heavily relies on the reuse of third-party libraries. This practice has …

Automated diversity is a promising mean of increasing the security of software systems.
However, current automated diversity techniques operate at the bottom of the software stack …

In this thesis, we present the design and implementation of two novel confinement solutions
based on eBPF, BPFBox and its successor, BPFContain. We discuss issues in the Linux …

In the dynamic realm of software engineering, adaptability is key to sustaining system
performance and reliability. Software iterations often bring about challenges such as …

The increased digitalization of modern societies has resulted in a proliferation of a broad
