Selfie: User-defined Sensitive Memory Protection and Recovery

Cryptography and Security 2019-09-11 v1

Abstract

Different users always have different requirement for sensitive memory definition. It is not flexible for aborting program execution once detecting memory corruption. Because the users may loose some sensitive data. We presented Selfie, a hybrid solution to provide one flexible solution to protect the sensitive memory according to users' requirements in runtime. Finally, Selfie can provide one solution to decide whether execution needs to be recovered. If the memory corruption doesn't belong sensitive memory, Selfie provides symbolic solver that can help figure out whether the memory corruption can affect the sensitive memory in future.
