Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas user-facing applications are often written in modern languages, the firmware, operating system, support libraries, and virtual machines that underpin just about any modern computer system are still written in low-level languages that value flexibility and performance over convenience and safety. Programming errors in low-level code are often exploitable and can, in the worst case, give adversaries unfettered access to the compromised host system. This book provides an introduction to and overview of automatic software diversity techniques that, in one way or another, use randomization to greatly increase the difficulty of exploiting the vast amounts of low-level code in existence. Diversity-based defenses are motivated by the observation that a single attack will fail against multiple targets with unique attack surfaces. We introduce the many, often complementary, ways that one can diversify attack surfaces and provide an accessible guide to more than two decades worth of research on the topic. We also discuss techniques used in conjunction with diversity to prevent accidental disclosure of randomized program aspects and present an in-depth case study of one of our own diversification solutions.

Book excerpt: Attackers penetrate a large number of computers by exploiting common vulnerabilities. The objective of this effort is to address this internet-wide weakness by introducing diversity into computers so that a successful attack on one computer does not necessarily work on another one, even though it may be running identical software.
Download or read book Software Diversity in Computerized Control Systems written by Udo Voges and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software Diversity is one of the fault-tolerance means to achieve dependable systems. In this volume, some experimental systems as well as real-life applications of software diversity are presented. The history, the current state-of-the-art and future perspectives are given. Although this technique is used quite successfully in industrial applications, further research is necessary to solve some open questions. We hope to report on new results and applications in another volume of this series within some years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays have been written to honor W. W. Bledsoe, a scientist who has contributed to such diverse fields as mathematics, systems analysis, pattern recognition, biology, artificial intelligence, and automated reasoning. The first essay provides a sketch of his life, emphasizing his scientific contributions. The diversity of the fields to which Bledsoe has contributed is reflected in the range of the other essays, which are original scientific contributions by some of his many friends and colleagues. Bledsoe is a founding father of the field of automated reasoning, and a majority of the essays are on that topic. These essays are collected together here not only to acknowledge Bledsoe's manifold and substantial scientific contributions but also to express our appreciation for the great care and energy that he has devoted to nurturing many of the scientists working in those scientific fields he has helped found. Robert S. Boyer Austin February, 1991 ix Acknow ledgements Thanks to Larry Wos, editor of the Journal of Automated Reasoning, and Derek Middleton and Martin Scrivener, Kluwer Academic editors, for sup porting the idea of initiating this collection of essays. Thanks to A. Michael Ballantyne and Michael Spivak, for help with lffi.TWC, especially in identifying many formatting problems and providing fixes.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obtaining correct results and behaviour on computing is a long-standing concern. Such guarantee can be obtained through fault and intrusion tolerance (FIT) mechanisms, which aim to tolerate accidental and arbitrary faults. Byzantine fault tolerant replication, when combined with proactive recovery techniques, can tolerate any number of arbitrary faults during the entire system life time. However, common vulnerabilities shared between replicas can compromise such tolerance. Diversity is a complementary mechanism that combines diverse resources to increase vulnerability independence between system components. Obtaining diversity automatically is a process that can be decomposed into two phases: creation and selection. The first phase consists in providing enough diverse resources to be considered, combined and selected in second phase. In this work we review basic FIT mechanisms, and analyze diversity in cloud computing environments. We present the DiversityAgent, a Java library for selecting cloud resources considering multiple diversity properties. Finally, we integrate this library with two use cases and evaluate its correctness and performance.
