1 Hibler, Michael J.The flask security architecture: system support for diverse security policiesOperating systems must be flexible in their support for security policies, i.e., the operating system must provide sufficient mechanisms for supporting the wide variety of real-world security policies. Systems claiming to provide this support have failed to do so in two ways: they either fail to pro...Flask; Security architecture1998
2 Brunvand, Erik L.Speculatorum OculiDescription Speculatorum Oculi (The Eyes of Spies) comments on current surveillance activities of governments and corporations through an installation that includes an architectural model surveilled with looming video cameras providing live feeds to a set of video monitors. These monitors show views...2014-01-01
3 Hibler, Michael J.Isolation of malicious external inputs in a security focused adaptive execution environmentReliable isolation of malicious application inputs is necessary for preventing the future success of an observed novel attack after the initial incident. In this paper we describe, measure and analyze, Input-Reduction, a technique that can quickly isolate malicious external inputs that embody unfore...2013-01-01
4 Kasera, Sneha K.Exploiting altruism in social networks for friend-to-friend malware detectionWe propose a novel malware detection application- SocialScan-which enables friend-to-friend (f2f) malware scanning services among social peers, with scanning resource sharing governed by levels of social altruism. We show that with f2f sharing of resources, SocialScan achieves a 65% increase in the ...2014-01-01
5 Hibler, Michael J.Microkernels meet recursive virtual machines (draft. May 10, 1996))This paper describes a novel approach to providing modular and extensible operating system functionality, and encapsulated environments, based on a synthesis of micro-kernel and virtual machine concepts. We have developed a virtualizable architecture that allows recursive virtual machines (virtual m...Microkernels; Virtual machines; Operating system functionality1996
6 Seeley, DonnPassword cracking: a game of witsA password cracking algorithm seems like a slow and bulky item to put in a worm, but the worm makes this work by being persistent and efficient. The worm is aided by some unfortunate statistics about typical password choices.Password cracking algorithm; Computer worms1989
7 Seeley, DonnA tour of the wormOn the evening of November 2, 1988, a self-replicating program was released upon the Internet 1. This program (a worm) invaded VAX and Sun-3 computers running versions of Berkeley UNIX, and used their sources to attack still more computers2. Within the space of hours this program had spread aacross ...Computer worm1989
8 Stoller, Leigh B.Low latency workstation cluster communications using sender-based protocolsThe use of workstations on a local area network to form scalable multicomputers has become quite common. A serious performance bottleneck in such "carpet clusters" is the communication protocol that is used to send data between nodes. We report on the design and implementation of a class of communic...Workstations; Scalable multicomputers; Sender-based; Communication protocols1996

10 Kasera, Sneha K.Enhancing covert communications with multiple colluding receiversTraditional (single receiver) system setup: ? Choose exploit field (e.g. last byte of TCP Timestamp) ? Alice: probabilistically inject parts of coded message into field ? Bob: extract symbols from field, decode to correct errors ?Warden: assume full knowledge of system and keys Can we create un...2010-10-06
11 Kasera, Sneha K.On fast and accurate detection of unauthorized wireless access points using clock skewsWe explore the use of clock skew of a wireless local area network access point (AP) as its fingerprint to detect unauthorized APs quickly and accurately. The main goal behind using clock skews is to overcome one of the major limitations of existing solutions-the inability to effectively detect Mediu...Clock skews; Unauthorized access; Medium access control; MAC; Address spoofing; Wireless networks; Time Synchronization Function; TSF2010-03
12 Hibler, Michael J.Notes on thread models in Mach 3.0During the Mach In-Kernel Servers work, we explored two alternate thread models that could be used to support traps to in-kernel servers. In the "migrating threads" model we used, the client's thread temporarily moves into the server's task for the duration of the call. In t h e "thread switching" ...Thread models; In-kernel servers; Thread switching; Mach 3.01993
13 Carter, John B.Using khazana to support distributed application developmentOne of the most important services required by most distributed applications is some form of shared data management, e.g., a directory service manages shared directory entries while groupware manages shared documents. Each such application currently must implement its own data management mechanisms,...Khazana; Distributed applications; Development1999
14 Regehr, JohnUnderstanding integer overflow in C/C++Integer overflow bugs in C and C++ programs are difficult to track down and may lead to fatal errors or exploitable vulnerabilities. Although a number of tools for finding these bugs exist, the situation is complicated because not all overflows are bugs. Better tools need to be constructed-but a tho...2012-01-01
15 Kasera, Sneha K.Secret key extraction using Bluetooth wireless signal strength measurementsBluetooth has found widespread adoption in phones, wireless headsets, stethoscopes, glucose monitors, and oximeters for communication of, at times, very critical information. However, the link keys and encryption keys in Bluetooth are ultimately generated from a short 4 digit PIN, which can be crack...2014-01-01
16 Back, Godmar V.Java operating systems: design and implementationLanguage-based extensible systems such as Java use type safety to provide memory safety in a single address space. Memory safety alone, however, is not sufficient to protect different applications from each other. such systems must support a process model that enables the control and management of c...Java operating systems; Language-based systems1998
17 Regehr, JohnEdicts: implementing features with flexible binding timesIn a software product line, the binding time of a feature is the time at which one decides to include or exclude a feature from a product. Typical binding site implementations are intended to support a single binding time only, e.g., compile time or run time. Sometimes, however, a product line must...2008-01-01

19 Kasera, Sneha K.; Patwari, NealHigh-rate uncorrelated bit extraction for shared secret key generation from channel measurementsSecret keys can be generated and shared between two wireless nodes by measuring and encoding radio channel characteristics without ever revealing the secret key to an eavesdropper at a third location. This paper addresses bit extraction, i.e., the extraction of secret key bits from noisy radio chan...Wireless networks; Multipath fading; Physical layer; Key generation; Secret keys; Bit extraction2010-01
