On the General Applicability of Instruction-Set Randomization
We describe Instruction-Set Randomization (ISR), a general approach for safeguarding systems against any type of code-injection attack. We apply Kerckhoffs' principle to creat...

Fast and practical instruction-set randomization for commodity systems
Instruction-set randomization (ISR) is a technique based on randomizing the "language" understood by a system to protect it from code-injection attacks. Such attacks wer...

Fast Randomized Test-and-Set and Renaming
Most people believe that renaming is easy: simply choose a name at random; if more than one process selects the same name, then try again. We highlight the issues that occur when t...

Space Hierarchy Results for Randomized and Other Semantic Models
We prove space hierarchy and separation results for randomized and other semantic models of computation with advice where a machine is only required to behave appropriately when g...

Comparison-Based Algorithms Are Robust and Randomized Algorithms Are Anytime
Randomized search heuristics (e.g., evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing etc.) are very appealing to practitioners, they are easy to implement and usually provide good per...

Fair service for mice in the presence of elephants
We show how randomized caches can be used in resource-poor partial-state routers to provide a fair share of bandwidth to short-lived flows that are known as mice when long-lived f...

The randomized complexity of initial value problems
We study the complexity of randomized solution of initial value problems for systems of ordinary differential equations (ODE). The input data are assumed to be -smooth ( = r+ : th...

A simple expected running time analysis for randomized "divide and conquer" algorithms
There are many randomized "divide and conquer" algorithms, such as randomized Quicksort, whose operation involves partitioning a problem of size n uniformly at random int...
