Code-Pointer Integrity

George Candea, Mathias Josef Payer, Volodymyr Kuznetsov

Systems code is often written in low-level languages like C/C++, which offer many benefits but also delegate memory management to programmers. This invites memory safety bugs that attackers can exploit to divert control flow and compromise the system. Depl ...

Lightweight Snapshots and System-level Backtracking

George Candea, Edouard Bugnion, Vitaly Chipounov

We propose a new system-level abstraction, the lightweight immutable execution snapshot, which combines the immutable characteristics of checkpoints with the direct integration into the virtual memory subsystem of standard mutable address spaces. The abstr ...

Trustworthy Numerical Computation in Scala

Viktor Kuncak, Eva Darulova

Modern computing has adopted the floating point type as a default way to describe computations with real numbers. Thanks to dedicated hardware support, such computations are efficient on modern architectures. However, rigorous reasoning about the resulting ...
