Binary similarity analysis determines if two binary executables are from the same source program. Existing techniques leverage static and dynamic program features and may utilize advanced Deep Learning techniques. Although they have…

Sphinx, a hardware-software co-design architecture for binary code and runtime obfuscation. The Sphinx architecture uses binary code diversification and self-reconfigurable processing elements to maintain application functionality while…

With the growing diversity of instruction set architectures (ISAs), cross-ISA program execution has become common. Dynamic binary translation (DBT) is the main solution but suffers from poor performance. Cross-compilation avoids emulation…

Binary rewriting is a rapidly-maturing technique for modifying software for instrumentation, customization, optimization, and hardening without access to source code. Unfortunately, the practical applications of binary rewriting tools are…

This paper explores the possibilities of using a computing methodology --hardware and software-- that employs technology other than binary. I refer to this as "supra - binary" computing. Software constructs that use more than binary…

The file system provides the mechanism for online storage and access to file contents, including data and programs. This paper covers the high-level details of file systems, as well as related topics such as the disk cache, the file system…

The paper describes how to detect malicious executable files based on static analysis of their binary content. The stages of pre-processing and cleaning data extracted from different areas of executable files are analyzed. Methods of…

Operating systems are vital system software that, without them, humans would not be able to manage and use computer systems. In essence, an operating system is a collection of software programs whose role is to manage computer resources and…

The article provides a new approach to creating hierarchical structure of file system. First, it gives overview of the existing ways of storing files in current operating systems. Second, it describes the new way of building structures of a…

This paper introduces Binary Acceleration At Runtime (BAAR), an easy-to-use on-the-fly binary acceleration mechanism which aims to tackle the problem of enabling existent software to automatically utilize accelerators at runtime. BAAR is…

I have developed a code which allows images to be produced of a variety of interacting binaries for any system parameters. The resulting images are not only helpful in visualising the geometry of a given system but are also helpful in talks…

FPGA-level emulation is a key step in pre-silicon chip design validation. However, emulating large-scale multi-core systems increasingly exceed the hardware resource capacity of a single FPGA, limiting the feasibility of full-system…

Fault injection attacks can cause errors in software for malicious purposes. Oftentimes, vulnerable points of a program are detected after its development. It is therefore critical for the user of the program to be able to apply last-minute…

Containers as the unit of application delivery are the 'next big thing' in the software development world. They enable developers to create an executable image containing an application bundled with all its dependencies which a user can run…

Message passing programs commonly use buffers to avoid unnecessary synchronizations and to improve performance by overlapping communication with computation. Unfortunately, using buffers makes the program no longer portable, potentially…

A file system standard for use with write-once media such as digital compact disks is proposed. The file system is designed to work with any operating system and a variety of physical media. Although the implementation is simple, it…

Binary code analysis is widely used to assess a program's correctness, performance, and provenance. Binary analysis applications often construct control flow graphs, analyze data flow, and use debugging information to understand how machine…

FPGA accelerators on the NIC enable the offloading of expensive packet processing tasks from the CPU. However, FPGAs have limited resources that may need to be shared among diverse applications, and programming them is difficult. We present…

Binary field extensions are fundamental to many applications, such as multivariate public key cryptography, code-based cryptography, and error-correcting codes. Their implementation requires a foundation in number theory and algebraic…

Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) has emerged as a powerful method to extend packet-processing functionality in the Linux operating system. BPF allows users to write code in high-level languages (like C or Rust) and execute them at…
