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 …

Prior work on multi-language program verification has achieved impressive results,
including the compositional verification of complex compilers. But the existing approaches to …

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 describe a fully abstract trace semantics for a functional language with locally declared
general references (a fragment of Standard ML). It is based on a bipartite LTS in which …

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 …

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

Contracts specifying a procedure's behavior in terms of pre-and postconditions are essential
for scalable software verification, but cannot express any constraints on the events occurring …
