The carbon footprint of software activities is determined by embodied and operational
emissions of hardware resources. This paper presents cMemento, a concept that enables …

Operating systems rely on system calls to allow the controlled communication of isolated
processes with the kernel and other processes. Every system call includes a processor …

The sharing of hardware elements, such as caches, is known to introduce microarchitectural
side-channel leakage. One approach to eliminate this leakage is to not share hardware …

IoT and IIoT have made their way into our daily lives, and with them the dangers associated
with their use. These usually inexpensive devices often lack security features or security …

Reflective features in modern programming languages allow programs to introspect and
modify their own structures and behavior during runtime. As these self-referential …

Software patches are made available to fix security vulnerabilities, enhance performance,
and usability. Previous works focused on measuring the performance effect of patches on …

Security and safety of system are important and intertwined concepts in the world of
computing. In recent years, the terms “sustainable security” and “sustainable safety” came …

Providing secure systems, for example, in computing centers, is an essential task of service
providers. Vulnerabilities threatening secure execution are not only located in defective …

Spectre and Meltdown attacks exploit security vulnerabilities in architectural features to gain
unauthorized memory access. While there are promising defense mechanisms against such …

Writing well-maintainable parallel programs that efficiently utilize many processor cores is
still a significant challenge. Threads are hard to use, and so are event-based schemes …
