DESCRIPTION:Professor John Criswell\, Department of Computer Science\, Uni
 versity of Rochester\nCommodity operating system kernels are the foundatio
 n of our software systems\, providing access control\, I/O mechanisms\, an
 d memory management.  However\, operating system kernels are vulnerable t
 o a variety of security attacks.  Compromising the kernel allows an attac
 ker to render any security protections\, provided by the kernel or the app
 lications running on the kernel\, useless.\nIn this talk\, he will present
  Virtual Ghost: a system that protects the confidentiality and integrity o
 f application data from an operating system kernel that is completely unde
 r an attacker’s control.  Virtual Ghost provides applications with priv
 ate\, incorruptible memory\, incorruptible control flow\, and secure key d
 elivery.  With these features\, applications can protect their data from 
 the operating system kernel.  Unlike previous systems\, Virtual Ghost emp
 loys compiler techniques to protect applications and is faster than previo
 us solutions that rely on hypervisor-based approaches.
