HARD PROBLEM(S) ADDRESSED

  • Resilient Architectures - Our current focus is the creation and validation of a classification system of existing security isolation techniques, through which we will identify underlying design principles and tradeoffs that will lead to the design of next generation smart isolation techniques to support resilient architectures.

ACCOMPLISHMENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • We performed a large scale analysis of over 400,000 official and community images in Docker Hub. Our key findings include security vulnerabilities are widespread in Docker Hub and the unique CVEs found in both community and official images increase over years since the inception of the Docker Hub.
