To protect sensitive data processed by current applications, developers, whether security
experts or not, have to rely on cryptography. While cryptography algorithms have become …

Software development can be challenging because of the large information spaces that
developers must navigate. Without assistance, developers can become bogged down and …

Low-code software development (LCSD) is an emerging paradigm that combines minimal
source code with interactive graphical interfaces to promote rapid application development …

Kernel vulnerabilities are critical in security because they naturally allow attackers to gain
unprivileged root access. Although there has been much research on finding kernel …

Software bugs can cause significant financial loss and even the loss of human lives. To
reduce such loss, developers devote substantial efforts to fixing bugs, which generally …

Various studies have empirically shown that the majority of Java and Android applications
misuse cryptographic libraries, causing devastating breaches of data security. It is crucial to …

Temporal properties are useful for describing and reasoning about software behavior, but
developers rarely write down temporal specifications of their systems. Prior work on inferring …

In recent years, automatic program repair has been a hot research topic in the software
engineering community, and many approaches have been proposed. Although these …
