Support for optimistic parallelism such as thread-level speculation (TLS) and transactional memory (TM) has been proposed to ease the task of parallelizing software to exploit the...
We explore the extent to which newly available CPU-based security technology can reduce the Trusted Computing Base (TCB) for security-sensitive applications. We find that although...

We develop a flexible information-flow type system for a range of encryption primitives, precisely reflecting their diverse functional and security features. Our rules enable e...
Abstract. Linearizability is a commonly accepted notion of correctness for libraries of concurrent algorithms. Unfortunately, it is only appropriate for sequentially consistent mem...
