Software security defenses are routinely broken by the persistence of both security
researchers and attackers. Hardware solutions based on tagging are emerging as a …

Direct-mapped caches are a popular design choice for highperfortnsnce processors;
unfortunately, direct-mapped cachessuffer systematic interference misses when more than …

We characterize the cache behavior of an in-memory tag table and demonstrate that an
optimized implementation can typically achieve a near-zero memory traffic overhead. Both …

Embodiments are directed to memory protection with hid den inline metadata. An
embodiment of an apparatus includes processor cores; a computer memory for the storage …

Memory safety attacks continue to be prevalent on computer systems in use today, as large
amounts of unsafe C/C++ code continues to provide attackers with a large supply of buffer …

Buffer-overflow attacks began two decades ago and persist today. Over that time, many
solutions to provide protection from buffer-overflow attacks have been proposed by a …

Aspects of the present invention are to address at least the above-mentioned problems
and/or disadvantages and to pro vide at least the advantages described below. Accordingly …

We propose a framework for protecting against buffer overflow attacks $ the oldest and most
pervasive attack technique. The malicious nature of buffer-overflow attacks is the use of …

Software countermeasures to mitigate buffer overflow attacks suffer from excessive memory
and/or performance overhead. With such overhead, the defender can use software-only …

Fault localization (FL) is the process of debugging erroneous code and directing analysts to
the root cause of the bug. With this in mind, we have developed a distributed, end-to-end …
