In recent times researchers have found several security vulnerabilities in the Routing Protocol for Low power and Lossy network (RPL), amongst which rank attack is a predominant one causing detrimental effects on the network by creating a…

As multimodal and AI-driven services exchange hundreds of megabytes per request, existing IPC runtimes spend a growing share of CPU cycles on memory copies. Although both hardware and software mechanisms are exploring memory offloading,…

Supply chain attacks significantly threaten software security with malicious code injections within legitimate projects. Such attacks are very rare but may have a devastating impact. Detecting spurious code injections using automated tools…

Pipeline parallelism (PP) is widely used for training large language models (LLMs), yet its scalability is often constrained by high activation memory consumption as the number of in-flight microbatches grows with the degree of PP. In this…

Predicting program behavior without execution is a critical task in software engineering. Existing models often fall short in capturing the dynamic dependencies among program elements. To address this, we present CodeFlow, a novel machine…

Deep neural nets achieve state-of-the-art performance on the problem of optical flow estimation. Since optical flow is used in several safety-critical applications like self-driving cars, it is important to gain insights into the robustness…

We present Labeled Input Output in F* (LIO*), a verified framework that enforces information flow control (IFC) policies developed in F* and automatically extracted to C. Inspired by LIO, we encapsulated IFC policies into effects, but using…

Practical applications of quantum computing depend on fault-tolerant devices that employ error correction. A promising quantum error-correcting code for large-scale quantum computing is the surface code. For this code, Fault-Tolerant…

The detection of network flows that send excessive amounts of traffic is of increasing importance to enforce QoS and to counter DDoS attacks. Large-flow detection has been previously explored, but the proposed approaches can be used on…

LLM-based coding agents extend their capabilities via third-party agent skills distributed through open marketplaces without mandatory security review. Unlike traditional packages, these skills are executed as operational directives with…

Fault injection (FI) is a powerful attack methodology allowing an adversary to entirely break the security of a target device. As finite-state machines (FSMs) are fundamental hardware building blocks responsible for controlling systems,…

Along with the progress of AI democratization, machine learning (ML) has been successfully applied to edge applications, such as smart phones and automated driving. Nowadays, more applications require ML on tiny devices with extremely…

FastFlow is a programming environment specifically targeting cache-coherent shared-memory multi-cores. FastFlow is implemented as a stack of C++ template libraries built on top of lock-free (fence-free) synchronization mechanisms. In this…

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) integrate sensing, communication, computation, and control to support critical infrastructure, including smart grids, industrial automation, and control systems. In the electrical utility domain, various…

Fault injection attacks deliberately inject faults into a device via physical channels to disturb its regular execution. Adversaries can effectively deduce secrets by analyzing both the normal and faulty outputs, posing serious threats to…

Software-based fault isolation (SFI) is a technique to isolate a potentially faulty or malicious software module from the rest of a system using instruction-level rewriting. SFI implementations on CISC architectures, including Google Native…

Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOPs) are a widely studied framework for coordinating interactions in cooperative multi-agent systems. In classical DCOPs, variables owned by agents are assumed to be discrete. However, in many…

The possibility of programming the control and data planes, enabled by the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm, represents a fertile ground on top of which novel operation and management mechanisms can be fully explored, being…

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a widely used tool to extract text from scanned documents. Today, the state-of-the-art is achieved by exploiting deep neural networks. However, the cost of this performance is paid at the price of…

Chemical process optimization and control are affected by 1) plant-model mismatch, 2) process disturbances, and 3) constraints for safe operation. Reinforcement learning by policy optimization would be a natural way to solve this due to its…
