Robust hardware-software intrusion detection

Applications that run on billions of mobile devices backed by enormous datacenters hold the promise of personal, always-on healthcare; of intelligent vehicles and homes; and thus of a healthier, more efficient society. It is imperative to make such applications secure by protecting their integrity and keeping their data confidential. However, malicious programs (``malware'') today can subvert the best software-level defenses by impersonating benign processes on mobile devices or by attacking victim processes through the hardware on shared datacenter servers.
