  • Exploitation and Mitigation of CPU Vulnerabilities

    Creator:
    Mestas, Phillip O., III
    Abstract:
    AMD SEV allows for the creation of fully encrypted virtual machines. This allows cloud computing tenants’ data to be secret to the cloud computing provider. However, it has been shown that the encryption scheme used by AMD can easily be broken. The attacker can create a copy of the virtual...

  • The Symbioses of Oblivious Random Access Memory and Trusted Execution Environments

    Creator:
    Rahal-Arabi, Hadi
    Abstract:
    In recent years, Oblivious Random Access Memory (ORAM) controllers in Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) have become a popular area of investigation, as coresident trusted systems allow for significantly more efficient oblivious execution. Further, in the case of Intel architectures, oblivious execution effectively eliminates the majority of confidentiality leakage holes in...

  • A Decade of Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities, their Mitigation and Open Problems

    Creator:
    Raj, Abhilash
    Abstract:
    The aim of this thesis is to study past 10 years of security vulnerabilities reported against Linux Kernel and all existing mitigation techniques that prevent the exploitation of those vulnerabilities. To systematically study the security vulnerabilities, they were categorized into classes and sub-classes based on their type. This thesis first...

  • Redundant information in a spin system beyond pure decoherence

    Creator:
    Svesko, Andrew M.
    Abstract:
    Quantum physics in the Copenhagen interpretation places an unsatisfying divide between the quantum and classical worlds. Decoherence -- the destruction of superposition states of the system -- helps us understand how the quantum transitions to the classical. Quantum Darwinism builds on decoherence to understand how information about the system is...
