We propose a new formal criterion for secure compilation, providing strong security guarantees for components written in unsafe, low-level languages with C-style undefined behavior. Our criterion goes beyond recent proposals, which protect…

Data poisoning is one of the most relevant security threats against machine learning and data-driven technologies. Since many applications rely on untrusted training data, an attacker can easily craft malicious samples and inject them into…

Whenever a bug occurs in a program, software developers assume that the code is flawed, not the compiler. In fact, if compilers should be correct, they are just normal software with their own bugs. Hard to find, errors in them have…
