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 …

As a central part of resource management, the OS thread scheduler must maintain the
following, simple, invariant: make sure that ready threads are scheduled on available cores …

This paper presents Serval, a framework for developing automated verifiers for systems
software. Serval provides an extensible infrastructure for creating verifiers by lifting …

This paper describes an approach to designing, implementing, and formally verifying the
functional correctness of an OS kernel, named Hyperkernel, with a high degree of proof …

Hardware vendors have introduced confidential VM architectures (eg, AMD SEV-SNP, Intel
TDX and Arm CCA) in recent years. They eliminate the trust in the hypervisor and lead to the …

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) unlock emerging use cases like large language models
and autonomous driving. They process a large amount of sensitive data, where security is of …

In today's world, critical infrastructure is often controlled by computing systems. This
introduces new risks for cyber attacks, which can compromise the security and disrupt the …

This paper presents MiniBox, the first two-way sandbox for x86 native code, that not only
protects a benign OS from a misbehaving application, but also protects an application from a …

Reasoning about programs is a fundamental skill that every software engineer needs. This
tutorial provides participants an opportunity to get hands-on experience with Dafny, a tool …
