The purpose of a distributed file system (DFS) is to allow users of physically distributed
computers to share data and storage resources by using a common file system. A typical …

The common perception in both academic literature and industry today is that virtual
machines offer better security, whereas containers offer better performance. However, a …

Internet of Things (IoT) platforms often require users to grant permissions to third-party apps,
such as the ability to control a lock. Unfortunately, because few users act based upon, or …

Internet usage has become a facet of everyday life, especially as more technological
advances have made it easier to connect to the web from virtually anywhere in the …

CHERI extends a conventional RISC Instruction-Set Architecture, compiler, and operating
system to support fine-grained, capability-based memory protection to mitigate memory …

Motivated by contemporary security challenges, we reevaluate and refine capability-based
addressing for the RISC era. We present CHERI, a hybrid capability model that extends the …

Resource and information protection plays a relevant role in distributed systems like the
ones present in the Internet of Things (IoT). Authorization frameworks like RBAC and ABAC …

Plutus is a cryptographic storage system that enables secure file sharing without placing
much trust on the file servers. In particular, it makes novel use of cryptographic primitives to …

Recently, there is an increasing interest in building data-center applications with RDMA
because of its low-latency, high-throughput, and low-CPU-utilization benefits. However …

We explore the potential of making programmability a central feature of the SSD interface.
Our prototype system, called Willow, allows programmers to augment and extend the …
