Scalable Certification for Typed Assembly Language
Abstract. A type-based certifying compiler maps source code to machine code and target-level type annotations. The target-level annotations make it possible to prove easily that th...

N-version disassembly: differential testing of x86 disassemblers
The output of a disassembler is used for many different purposes (e.g., debugging and reverse engineering). Therefore, disassemblers represent the first link of a long chain of s...

Typestate Checking of Machine Code
We check statically whether it is safe for untrusted foreign machine code to be loaded into a trusted host system. (Here “safety” means that the program abides by a memory-acc...

Construction of a Semantic Model for a Typed Assembly Language
Typed Assembly Languages (TALs) can be used to validate the safety of assembly-language programs. However, typing rules are usually trusted as axioms. In this paper, we show how to...

Understanding Obfuscated Code
Code obfuscation makes it harder for a security analyst to understand the malicious payload of a program. In most cases an analyst needs to study the program at the machine code l...
