The recent digital revolution led robots to become integrated more than ever into different
domains such as agricultural, medical, industrial, military, police (law enforcement), and …

Technology has become inevitable in human life, especially the growth of Internet of Things
(IoT), which enables communication and interaction with various devices. However, IoT has …

Reactive defense mechanisms, such as intrusion detection systems, have made significant
efforts to secure a system or network for the last several decades. However, the nature of …

Memory corruption bugs in software written in low-level languages like C or C++ are one of
the oldest problems in computer security. The lack of safety in these languages allows …

Fine-grained address space layout randomization (ASLR) has recently been proposed as a
method of efficiently mitigating runtime attacks. In this paper, we introduce the design and …

The idea of automatic software diversity is at least two decades old. The deficiencies of
currently deployed defenses and the transition to online software distribution (the" App store" …

Return-oriented programming is an effective code-reuse attack in which short code
sequences ending in a ret instruction are found within existing binaries and executed in …

Software vulnerabilities have had a devastating effect on the Internet. Worms such as
CodeRed and Slammer can compromise hundreds of thousands of hosts within hours or …

Address-space randomization is a technique used to fortify systems against buffer overflow
attacks. The idea is to introduce artificial diversity by randomizing the memory location of …

Unlike library code, whose instruction addresses can be randomized by address space
layout randomization (ASLR), application binary code often has static instruction addresses …
