FirmFuzz: Automated IoT Firmware Introspection and Analysis

While the number of IoT devices grows at an exhilarating pace their security remains stagnant. Imposing secure coding standards across all vendors is infeasible. Testing individual devices allows an analyst to evaluate their security post deployment. Any d ...

Pythia: Remote Oracles for the Masses

Mathias Josef Payer, Yuqing Zhang

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is a technology that allows direct access from the network to a machine's main memory without involving its CPU. RDMA offers low-latency, high-bandwidth performance and low CPU utilization. While RDMA provides massive per ...

Hardware-conscious Hash-Joins on GPUs

Anastasia Ailamaki, Periklis Chrysogelos, Panagiotis Sioulas, Manolis Karpathiotakis, Raja Appuswamy

Traditionally, analytical database engines have used task parallelism provided by modern multisocket multicore CPUs for scaling query execution. Over the past few years, GPUs have started gaining traction as accelerators for processing analytical queries d ...

Milkomeda: Safeguarding the Mobile GPU Interface Using WebGL Security Checks

Mathias Josef Payer

GPU-accelerated graphics is commonly used in mobile applications. Unfortunately, the graphics interface exposes a large amount of potentially vulnerable kernel code (i.e., the GPU device driver) to untrusted applications. This broad attack surface has resu ...

Adaptive Cache Mode Selection for Queries over Raw Data

Anastasia Ailamaki, Tahir Azim, Azqa Nadeem

Caching the results of intermediate query results for future re-use is a common technique for improving the performance of analytics over raw data sources. An important design choice in this regard is whether to lazily cache only the offsets of satisfying ...

Adaptation strategies for tracking constraints under plant-model mismatch

Dominique Bonvin, Timm Faulwasser, Martand Singhal

Optimal operating conditions for a process plant are typically obtained via model based optimization. However, due to modeling errors, the operating conditions found are often sub-optimal or, worse, they can violate critical process constraints. Hence, mod ...

Exploiting CPU-Load and Data Correlations in Multi-Objective VM Placement for Geo-Distributed Data Centers

David Atienza Alonso, Ali Pahlevan, Pablo Garcia del Valle

Cloud computing has been proposed as a new paradigm to deliver services over the internet. The proliferation of cloud services and increasing users’ demands for computing resources have led to the appearance of geo-distributed data centers (DCs). These DCs ...

High System-Code Security with Low Overhead

George Candea, Johannes Kinder, Volodymyr Kuznetsov, Jonas Benedict Wagner

Security vulnerabilities plague modern systems because writing secure systems code is hard. Promising approaches can retrofit security automatically via runtime checks that implement the desired security policy; these checks guard critical operations, like ...
