1 Hardware, Languages, and Architectures for Defense Against Hostile Operating Systems (DHOSA) Vikram Adve, Krste Asanović, David Evans, Sam King, Greg Morrisett, R. Sekar, Dawn Song, David Wagner (PI)

2 The Problem Can we defend applications from buggy and even malicious host operating systems? OS s contain ~50M lines of code. 1 bug/kloc ~50K bugs? Reality: must assume OS will be compromised.

3 Exploring New Territory Conventional wisdom: If the OS is malicious or subverted, you are hosed. Our goal: Survive a malicious OS, perhaps with degraded functionality or availability.

4 The Approach Advances that cut across traditional disciplines: new hardware architectures new techniques for binary rewriting new OS and software architectures new advances in formal methods new cryptographic techniques

5 Vikram Adve (UIUC) Krste Asanović (UC Berkeley) David Evans (U Virginia) Sam King (UIUC) Greg Morrisett (Harvard) R. Sekar (Stony Brook) Dawn Song (UC Berkeley) David Wagner (UC Berkeley)

7 Farmville Facebook Bank What must you trust to prevent unwanted flows? Browser User-level libraries OS Kernel, Modules, Device Drivers, File Sys, Networking, Hypervisor CPU, Memory & Devices

8 Farmville Facebook Bank What must you trust to prevent unwanted flows? Browser User-level libraries OS Kernel, Modules, Device Drivers, File Sys, Networking, Hypervisor CPU, Memory & Devices

9 An alternative world? New OS and software architectures Recompilation required Small TCB (~ 1KLOC) POSIX API CPU, Memory & Devices

10 New OS and software architectures Another alternative world? Farmville Facebook Bank Browser Kernel Renderer Javascript VM Hypervisor CPU, Memory & Devices Illinois Browser Operating System (IBOS)

11 Data-centric Security New OS and software architectures Protect the data directly instead of network or host-based protection Three examples: Cloud-terminal: providing trusted input/output Platform for private data Secure web applications: Guardrails

12 New OS and software architectures Cloud-terminal architecture Generalpurpose OS Secure thin terminal VM Application Virtual desktop server Lightweight hypervisor Trusted Computing Hardware Cloud Rendering Engine Encrypted tunnel

13 New hardware architectures Hardware Legacy Stack Bank Browser-Based OS Hypervisor CPU, Memory & Devices Hardware support for isolation against covert channels in a multi-core environment

14 Binary rewriting New policy enforcement techniques Legacy Stack Bank Browser-Based OS Hypervisor CPU, Memory & Devices Binary rewriting and emulation techniques to enforce basic integrity and isolation policies

15 Language-based safety New policy enforcement techniques Legacy Stack Bank Browser-Based OS Hypervisor CPU, Memory & Devices Type-safe low-level virtual machine code: object-level isolation

16 Formal methods New techniques for trustworthiness Bank Browser-Based OS Hypervisor CPU, Memory & Devices New techniques for scalable verification of enforcement technologies.

17 New cryptographic techniques Cryptographic techniques Bank Browser-Based OS Hypervisor CPU, Memory & Devices New techniques for efficient encrypted computation through dynamic garbled circuits.

18 SVA Cryptographic secure computation Binary translation and emulation Formal methods TRANSFORMATION e.g., Enforce properties on a malicious OS Data-centric security Secure browser appliance e.g., Enable complex distributed systems, with resilience to hostile OS s Hardware support for isolation Dealing with malicious hardware e.g., Prevent data exfiltration Secure servers WEB-BASED ARCHITECTURES HARDWARE SYSTEM ARCHITECTURES

19 Agenda 9:30-9:45 Welcome + Overview 9:45-10:10 CPU emulators: improving their assurance 10:10-10:35 Formal modeling of x86 binaries 10:35-11:00 Data-centric security: Platform for Private Data 11:15-11:35 Binary rewriting 11:35-12:00 Secure Virtual Architecture 12:00-1:00 Lunch 1:00-1:25 Trust, protection, & performance with Valkyrie 1:25-1:50 When semi-honest is only semi-good-enough 1:50-2:30 Visitor feedback
