WebAssembly (Wasm) is a binary instruction format designed for secure and efficient execution within sandboxed environments -- predominantly web apps and browsers -- to facilitate performance, security, and flexibility of web programming…
WebAssembly is revolutionizing the approach to developing modern applications. Although this technology was born to create portable and performant modules in web browsers, currently, its capabilities are extensively exploited in multiple…
WebAssembly is a compilation target for cross-platform applications that is increasingly being used. In this paper, we investigate whether one can transparently cross-compile C programs to WebAssembly, and if not, what impact porting can…
WebAssembly is quickly becoming a popular compilation target for a variety of code. However, vulnerabilities in the source languages translate to vulnerabilities in the WebAssembly binaries. This work proposes a methodology and a…
WebAssembly is increasingly used as the compilation target for cross-platform applications. In this paper, we investigate whether one can rely on the security measures enforced by existing C compilers when compiling C programs to…
The growth in the adoption of the WebAssembly (WASM) standard has given rise to a rapidly increasing landscape of binary applications that are natively ported to the environment of websites. The flexibility of WASM has made it the preferred…
WebAssembly (abbreviated WASM) has emerged as a promising language of the Web and also been used for a wide spectrum of software applications such as mobile applications and desktop applications. These applications, named as WASM…
Application virtual machines provide strong isolation properties and are established in the context of software portability. Those opportunities make them interesting for scalable and secure IoT deployments. WebAssembly is an application…
Recent studies have shown that developers have difficulties in using cryptographic APIs, which often led to security flaws. We are interested to tackle this matter by looking into what types of problems exist in various crypto libraries. We…
Over the last decade, the cloud computing landscape has transformed from a centralised architecture made of large data centres to a distributed and heterogeneous architecture embracing edge and IoT units. This shift has created the…
WebAssembly has attracted great attention as a portable compilation target for programming languages. To facilitate in-depth studies about this technology, we have deployed Wasmizer, a tool that regularly mines GitHub projects and makes an…
WebAssembly is an instruction set architecture and binary format standard, designed for secure execution by an interpreter. Previous work has shown that WebAssembly is vulnerable to buffer overflow due to the lack of effective protection…
WebAssembly is a low-level bytecode language that allows high-level languages like C, C++, and Rust to be executed in the browser at near-native performance. In recent years, WebAssembly has gained widespread adoption is now natively…
WebAssembly (abbreviated as Wasm) was initially introduced for the Web but quickly extended its reach into various domains beyond the Web. To create Wasm applications, developers can compile high-level programming languages into Wasm…
