Secure Native Binary Executions--April 2020 Q1

PI(s): Prasad Kulkarni

HARD PROBLEM(S) ADDRESSED:
Scalability and Composability, Security Metrics

PUBLIC ACCOMPLISHMENT HIGHLIGHTS:

Our overall project goal is to develop a high-performance framework for client-side security assessment and enforcement for binary software.

In this quarter our team explored the following question at the University of Kansas: How do the capabilities of state-of-the-art reverse engineering tools compare with the latest innovations and techniques proposed in research?

Dr. Jantz and his team at the University of Tennessee (sub-contract) continued developing a custom binary instrumentation tool to reduce the execution time overhead of analyzing and performing security checks in programs where source code is not available.
