Virtualization is gaining attraction in the industry as it promises a flexible way to integrate,
manage, and re-use heterogeneous software components with mixed-criticality levels, on a …

It is widely held that debugging cyber-physical systems (CPS) is challenging; many strongly
held beliefs exist regarding how CPS are currently debugged and tested and the suitability …

Microarchitectural timing channels expose hidden hardware states though timing. We survey
recent attacks that exploit microarchitectural features in shared hardware, especially as they …

Computer-aided cryptography is an active area of research that develops and applies
formal, machine-checkable approaches to the design, analysis, and implementation of …

Distributed systems are notorious for harboring subtle bugs. Verification can, in principle,
eliminate these bugs a priori, but verification has historically been difficult to apply at full …

Complete formal verification of a non-trivial concurrent OS kernel is widely considered a
grand challenge. We present a novel compositional approach for building certified …

Intel SGX promises powerful security: an arbitrary number of user-mode enclaves protected
against physical attacks and privileged software adversaries. However, to achieve this, Intel …

Robots may one day rule the world, but what is a robot-ruled Earth like? Many think the first
truly smart robots will be brain emulations or ems. Scan a human brain, then run a model …

Architecture specifications notionally define the fundamental interface between hardware
and software: the envelope of allowed behaviour for processor implementations, and the …

An Ironclad App lets a user securely transmit her data to a remote machine with the
guarantee that every instruction executed on that machine adheres to a formal abstract …
