Lazy Self-composition for Security Verification
The secure information flow problem, which checks whether low-security outputs of a program are influenced by high-security inputs, has many applications in verifying security properties in programs. In this p...

Trace-based Analysis of Memory Corruption Malware Attacks
Understanding malware behavior is critical for cybersecurity. This is still largely done through expert manual analysis of the malware code/binary. In this work, we introduce a fully automated method for malwa...

Reduction of Resolution Refutations and Interpolants via Subsumption
Propositional resolution proofs and interpolants derived from them are widely used in automated verification and circuit synthesis. There is a broad consensus that “small is beautiful”—small proofs and interpo...

Coverage-Based Trace Signal Selection for Fault Localisation in Post-silicon Validation
Post-silicon validation is the time-consuming process of detecting and diagnosing defects in prototype silicon. It targets electrical and functional defects that escaped detection during pre-silicon verificati...

Modeling Firmware as Service Functions and Its Application to Test Generation
The term firmware refers to software that is tied to a specific hardware platform, e.g., low-level drivers that physically interface with the peripherals. More recently, this has grown to include software that...

passert: A Tool for Debugging Parallel Programs
passert is a new debugging tool for parallel programs which allows programmers to express correctness criteria using a simple, expressive assertion language. We demonstrate how these parallel assertions allow the...

Wolverine: Battling Bugs with Interpolants
Wolverine is a software verifier that checks safety properties of sequential ANSI-C and C++ programs, deploying Craig interpolation to derive program invariants. We describe the underlying approa...

Predicting Serializability Violations: SMT-Based Search vs. DPOR-Based Search
In our recent work, we addressed the problem of detecting serializability violations in a concurrent program using predictive analysis, where we used a graph-based method to derive a predictive model from a gi...

Symmetry Reduction in SAT-Based Model Checking
The major challenge facing model checking is the state explosion problem. One technique to alleviate this is to apply symmetry reduction; this exploits the fact that many sequential systems consist of intercha...

The Quest for Efficient Boolean Satisfiability Solvers
The classical NP-complete problem of Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) has seen much interest in not just the theoretical computer science community, but also in areas where practical solutions to this problem enab...
