ACTOR: Action-Guided Kernel Fuzzing

Fuzzing reliably and efficiently finds bugs in software, including operating system kernels. In general, higher code coverage leads to the discovery of more bugs. This is why most existing kernel fuzzers adopt strategies to generate a series of inputs that ...

MINERVA: Browser API Fuzzing with Dynamic Mod-Ref Analysis

Mathias Josef Payer, Yu Jiang, Chijin Zhou

Browser APIs are essential to the modern web experience. Due to their large number and complexity, they vastly expand the attack surface of browsers. To detect vulnerabilities in these APIs, fuzzers generate test cases with a large amount of random API inv ...

Quantum conformance test

Elena Losero, Marco Genovese

We introduce a protocol addressing the conformance test problem, which consists in determining whether a process under test conforms to a reference one. We consider a process to be characterized by the set of end products it produces, which is generated ac ...

Seed Selection for Successful Fuzzing

Mathias Josef Payer

Mutation-based greybox fuzzing-unquestionably the most widely-used fuzzing technique-relies on a set of non-crashing seed inputs (a corpus) to bootstrap the bug-finding process. When evaluating a fuzzer, common approaches for constructing this corpus inclu ...

Students' learning strategies, motivation and project-management skills during interdisciplinary projects in Covid times

Siara Ruth Isaac, Helena Kovacs, Julien Delisle, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey, Marc Lafuente Martinez

In this study, we investigated an interdisciplinary project-based learning program. Students were confronted with interdisciplinary challenges in the form of complex and authentic problems, like building a racing car or making a mobile laboratory for genet ...

FuZZan: Efficient Sanitizer Metadata Design for Fuzzing

Mathias Josef Payer

Fuzzing is one of the most popular and effective techniques for finding software bugs. To detect triggered bugs, fuzzers leverage a variety of sanitizers in practice. Unfortunately, sanitizers target long running experiments-e.g., developer test suites-not ...

Use of compact Laser Doppler Velocimetry in reduced scale model testing of hydraulic machines

François Avellan, Vincent Berruex, Andres Müller, Loïc Andolfatto, Masashi Sakamoto

Laser based flow survey methods such as Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) or Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) have long been used for studying the flow in hydraulic machines. Even if the results have crucially improved our understanding of potentially destab ...

Imprecise Security: Quality and Complexity Tradeoffs for Hardware Information Flow Tracking

Paolo Ienne, Andrew James Becker, Ryan Charles Kastner, Wei Hu

Secure hardware design is a challenging task that goes far beyond ensuring functional correctness. Important design properties such as non-interference cannot be verified on functional circuit models due to the lack of essential information (e.g., sensitiv ...

PBCOV: a property-based coverage criterion

Hamza Harkous, Kassem Fawaz

Coverage criteria aim at satisfying test requirements and compute metrics values that quantify the adequacy of test suites at revealing defects in programs. Typically, a test requirement is a structural program element, and the coverage metric value repres ...

Rate distortion analysis in a disparity compensated scheme

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey

This paper addresses the problem of rate distortion analysis in the context of multi-view image coding, where images are predicted via disparity compensation based on depth map. We first present an an- alytical model for the variance of the residual error ...

Second-Order Comparison of Gaussian Random Functions and the Geometry of DNA Minicircles

Victor Panaretos, John Maddocks, David Kraus

Given two samples of continuous zero-mean iid Gaussian processes on [0,1], we consider the problem of testing whether they share the same covariance structure. Our study is motivated by the problem of determining whether the mechanical properties of short ...

The ITER toroidal field model coil project

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Marina Ricci

The ITER toroidal field model coil (TFMC) was designed, constructed and tested by the European Home Team in the framework of the ITER research and development program of the Engineering Design Activities (EDA). The project was performed under the leadershi ...
