Since fixing all driver bugs is nearly impossible, isolation of drivers is necessary to be a fundamental mechanism for reducing the attack surface between system composition boundaries. Compared with hardware-based isolation(Xen, Nooks, etc) and software-based isolation (e.g. SFI), language-based isolation often gains fine-grained safety, such as type constraints and thread-safety properties. <br>\r\nSafeDrive was an early effort to protect Linux C drivers using type checks, memory-safety invariants, and recovery support, but it still had overhead and incomplete safety. RedLeaf, built in Rust completely, reduces runtime checks by relying on Rust's ownership system while enabling efficient communication through validated interfaces. As Rust enters mainline Linux, a new challenge appears: Rust components need to interact with legacy foreign-language code, where safety guarantees can break. Omniglot addresses this by enabling safe, zero-copy interaction between Rust and unmodified untrusted code using carefully designed memory isolation primitives.<br>\r\nGoing forward, my research will continue to focus on the intersection of operating systems and programming languages.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Selected papers</u><br>\r\n<strong>Paper 1: </strong>SafeDrive: Safe and Recoverable Extensions Using Language-Based Techniques [OSDI'06]\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/1298455.1298461\">https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/1298455.1298461</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Paper 2: </strong>RedLeaf: Isolation and Communication in a Safe Operating System [OSDI'20]\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi20/presentation/narayanan-vikram\">https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi20/presentation/narayanan-vikram</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Paper 3: </strong>Building Bridges: Safe Interactions with Foreign Languages through Omniglot [OSDI'25]\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi25/presentation/schuermann\">https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi25/presentation/schuermann</a></li>\r\n</ul>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-08T11:09:55", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-08T11:10:13", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BC 133", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BC%20133", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [], "speaker": "Yiwen Xu", "organizer": "", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "EDIC candidacy exam", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120700/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/48/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71835, "title": "Testing the Hypervisor Boundary: Semantic Oracles and Adversarial Input Generation for pKVM", "slug": "testing-the-hypervisor-boundary-semantic-oracles-a", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/testing-the-hypervisor-boundary-semantic-oracles-a", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33155/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33155/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33155/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-22", "end_date": "2026-06-22", "start_time": "13:00:00", "end_time": "15:00:00", "description": "<u>EDIC candidacy exam</u><br>\r\nExam president: Prof. Katerina Argyraki<br>\r\nThesis advisor: Prof. Mathias Payer<br>\r\nCo-examiner: Prof. Thomas Bourgeat<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Abstract</u><br>\r\nHypervisors underpin modern confidential computing stacks, yet their exposed interfaces - hypercalls, fault handlers, and device interactions - remain a large and under-tested attack surface. Existing approaches fall short: coverage-driven fuzzers (e.g., HYPERPILL) explore broadly but rely on crash oracles, missing non-crashing vulnerabilities, while specification-based systems (e.g., Ghost) detect semantic violations but constrain input generation and under explore adversarial cases.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis thesis focuses on systematic bug finding in pKVM by combining semantic oracles with coverage-guided, adversarial fuzzing. Executable interface specifications are used to flag behavioral inconsistencies, while mutation-based input generation deliberately produces both valid and model-violating inputs to reach boundary conditions and deep execution paths. The approach further incorporates EL2 coverage feedback and concurrent vCPU sequences to expose bugs such as silent state corruption, ownership violations, and TOCTOU races.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe goal is to uncover security-critical vulnerabilities that evade both crash-based fuzzing and model-constrained testing, particularly in unspecified or adversarial input classes. More broadly, the work aims to establish a practical methodology for bug-driven testing of production hypervisors.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Selected papers</u><br>\r\ncoming soon", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-08T11:14:42", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-08T11:14:42", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BC 133", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BC%20133", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [], "speaker": "Sofiia Saltovskaia", "organizer": "", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "EDIC candidacy exam", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120701/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/48/?format=api" ] } ] }
