Recent advances have given rise to the popularity and success of cloud computing.
However, when outsourcing the data and business application to a third party causes the …

Kernel rootkits pose a significant threat to computer systems as they run at the highest
privilege level and have unrestricted access to the resources of their victims. Many current …

This paper presents a new approach to dynamically monitoring operating system kernel
integrity, based on a property called state-based control-flow integrity (SBCFI). Violations of …

Protecting the kernel of an operating system against attacks, especially injection of malicious
code, is an important factor for implementing secure operating systems. Several kernel …

Data-oriented attacks manipulate non-control data to alter a program's benign behavior
without violating its control-flow integrity. It has been shown that such attacks can cause …

The future 5G wireless is triggered by the higher demand on wireless capacity. With
Software Defined Network (SDN), the data layer can be separated from the control layer …

Smart phones are increasingly being equipped with operating systems that compare in
complexity with those on desktop computers. This trend makes smart phone operating …

Kernel rootkits that modify operating system state to avoid detection are a dangerous threat
to system security. This paper presents OSck, a system that discovers kernel rootkits by …

Kernel-level rootkits affect system security by modifying key kernel data structures to achieve
a variety of malicious goals. While early rootkits modified control data structures, such as the …
