Precise side-channel analysis

Side-channel attacks allow adversaries to infer sensitive information from non-functional characteristics. Typical side-channel detection tools are able to identify many potential vulnerabilities, but do not provide information regarding their severity, making it difficult for developers to decide whether to address them, as their leaks are often negligible in practice. Abacus is able to precisely quantify the leaked information and finds flaws that would otherwise be difficult for a developer to find.

Very Large Scale Computing Lab

Very Large Scale Computing Lab

Prof. James Larus

The Very Large Scale Computing Lab (VLSC) is trying to solve some of the critical software and hardware challenges of building large-scale services. These services may encompass tens of geo-distributed data centers, each of which can contain tens of thousands of servers. Compounded by challenges of scale and distribution, services also have very high availability and responsiveness requirements, and they are under continual development and evolution.
