Secure compilation is a discipline aimed at developing compilers that preserve the security
properties of the source programs they take as input in the target programs they produce as …

Good programming languages provide helpful abstractions for writing secure code, but the
security properties of the source language are generally not preserved when compiling a …

A fully abstract compiler prevents security features of the source language from being
bypassed by an attacker operating at the target language level. Unfortunately, developing …

A fully abstract compiler guarantees that two source components are observationally
equivalent in the source language if and only if their translations are observationally …

We present a secure (fully abstract) compilation scheme to compile an object-based high-
level language to low-level machine code. Full abstraction is achieved by relying on a fine …

We propose a new formal criterion for evaluating secure compilation schemes for unsafe
languages, expressing end-to-end security guarantees for software components that may …

The area of secure compilation aims to design compilers which produce hardened code that
can withstand attacks from low-level co-linked components. So far, there is no formal …

A compiler is fully-abstract if the compilation from source language programs to target
language programs reflects and preserves behavioural equivalence. Such compilers have …

Compartmentalization is good security-engineering practice. By breaking a large software
system into mutually distrustful components that run with minimal privileges, restricting their …

Secure compilation studies compilers that generate target-level components that are as
secure as their source-level counterparts. Full abstraction is the most widely-proven property …
