Abstract—Rapid advances in integrated circuit (IC) development predicted by Moore’s Law lead to increasingly complex, hard to verify IC designs. Design insiders or adversaries ...
Most operating systems enforce process isolation through hardware protection mechanisms such as memory segmentation, page mapping, and differentiated user and kernel instructions....
Bitwise operations are commonly used in low-level systems code to access multiple data fields that have been packed into a single word. Program analysis tools that reason about s...
Real-time, reactive, and embedded systems are increasingly used throughout society (e.g., flight control, railway signaling, vehicle management, medical devices, and many others)....
