This paper evaluates pointer tainting, an incarnation of Dynamic Information Flow Tracking
(DIFT), which has recently become an important technique in system security. Pointer …

Despite having been around for more than 25 years, buffer overflow attacks are still a major
security threat for deployed software. Existing techniques for buffer overflow detection …

An enhanced dynamic taint-tracking semantics is presented and implemented, facilitating
fast and precise runtime secret redaction from legacy processes, such as those compiled …

Pointer tainting is a form of Dynamic Information Flow Tracking used primarily to prevent
software security attacks such as buffer overflows. Researchers have also applied pointer …

Abstract Language-based software cyber deception leverages the science of compiler and
programming language theory to equip software products with deceptive capabilities that …

Memory errors have long been a critical security issue primarily for C/C++ programming
languages and are still considered one of the top three most dangerous software errors …

Over the last decade, many exploit mitigations based on Control Flow Integrity (CFI) have
been developed to secure programs from being hijacked by attackers. However, most of …

Database technology has been successfully applied to the traditional data processing
environment where data are represented by well-formatted records. There is a growing …

Computer security is in a crisis. Attackers are exploiting an ever-increasing range of software
vulnerabilities in critical public and private sector computer systems for massive financial …

Dynamic information flow tracking (DIFT) is an effective security countermeasure for both low-
level memory corruptions and high-level semantic attacks. However, many software …
