Dynamic Information Flow Tracking on Multicores

by Vijay Nagarajan, Ho-Seop Kim, Youfeng Wu, Rajiv Gupta , 2008
"... Dynamic Information Flow Tracking (DIFT) is a promising technique for detecting software attacks. Due to the computationally intensive nature of the technique, prior efficient implementations [21, 6] rely on specialized hardware support whose only purpose is to enable DIFT. Alternatively, prior soft ..."

Parallelizing Dynamic Information Flow Tracking

by Olatunji Ruwase, Phillip B. Gibbons, Todd C. Mowry, Vijaya Ramach, Shimin Chen, Michael Kozuch, Michael Ryan
"... Dynamic information flow tracking (DIFT) is an important tool for detecting common security attacks and memory bugs. A DIFT tool tracks the flow of information through a monitored program’s registers and memory locations as the program executes, detecting and containing/fixing problems on-the-fly. U ..."

Secure Program Execution via Dynamic Information Flow Tracking

by G. Edward Suh, Jaewook Lee, Srinivas Devadas , 2004
"... Dynamic information flow tracking is a hardware mechanism to protect programs against malicious attacks by identifying spurious information flows and restricting the usage of spurious information. Every security attack to take control of a program needs to transfer the program’s control to malevolen ..."

Boosting the permissiveness of dynamic information-flow tracking by testing

by Arnar Birgisson, Daniel Hedin, Andrei Sabelfeld , 2012
"... Tracking information flow in dynamic languages remains an open challenge. It might seem natural to address the challenge by runtime monitoring. However, there are well-known fundamental limits of dynamic flow-sensitive tracking of information flow, where paths not taken in a given execution contrib ..."
