Upgrading transport protocols using untrusted mobile code
In this paper, we present STP, a system in which communicating end hosts use untrusted mobile code to remotely upgrade each other with the transport protocols that they use to com...

Reducing TCB size by using untrusted components: small kernels versus virtual-machine monitors
Secure systems are best built on top of a small trusted operating system: The smaller the operating system, the easier it can be assured or verified for correctness. In this pape...

Protecting Commodity Operating System Kernels from Vulnerable Device Drivers
Device drivers on commodity operating systems execute with kernel privilege and have unfettered access to kernel data structures. Several recent attacks demonstrate that such poor...

Safety checking of machine code
We show how to determine statically whether it is safe for untrusted machine code to be loaded into a trusted host system. Our safety-checking technique operates directly on the u...

Idle Port Scanning and Non-interference Analysis of Network Protocol Stacks Using Model Checking
Idle port scanning uses side-channel attacks to bounce scans off of a "zombie" host to stealthily scan a victim IP address and determine if a port is open or closed, or ...
