Address-space randomization is a technique used to fortify systems against buffer overflow attacks. The idea is to introduce artificial diversity by randomizing the memory location of certain system...
Abstract Understanding Data Lifetime via Whole System Simulation (2008)
Jim Chow, Ben Pfaff, Tal Garfinkel, Kevin Christopher, Mendel Rosenblum
Strictly limiting the lifetime (i.e. propagation and duration of exposure) of sensitive data (e.g. passwords) is an important and well accepted practice in secure software development. Unfortunately,...
AEGIS – Tamper Evident and Tamper Resistant Processing (2008)
G. Edward Suh, Dwaine Clarke, Marten Van Dijk, Srinivas Devadas, Tal Garfinkel, Ben Pfaff, ...
Trusted computing means that the computer will consistently behave in specific ways, and those behaviors will be enforced by hardware and software. Enlightened after reading the papers: Trusted...

Abstract Shredding Your Garbage: Reducing Data Lifetime Through Secure Deallocation (2008)
Jim Chow, Ben Pfaff, Tal Garfinkel, Mendel Rosenblum
Today’s operating systems, word processors, web browsers, and other common software take no measures to promptly remove data from memory. Consequently, sensitive data, such as passwords, social...
Abstract Data Lifetime is a Systems Problem (2008)
Tal Garfinkel, Ben Pfaff, Jim Chow, Mendel Rosenblum
As sensitive data lifetime (i.e. propagation and duration in memory) increases, so does the risk of exposure. Unfortunately, this issue has been largely overlooked in the design of most of today’s...
