Analysis of operating system diversity for intrusion tolerance
One of the key benefits of using intrusion-tolerant systems is the possibility of ensuring correct behavior in the presence of attacks and intrusions. These security gains are directly dependent on the components exhibiting failure diversity. To what extent failure diversity is observed in practical deployment depends on how diverse are the components that constitute the system. In this paper, ...

One of the key benefits of using intrusion-tolerant systems is the possibility of ensuring correct behavior in the presence of attacks and intrusions. These security gains are directly dependent on the components exhibiting failure diversity. To what extent failure diversity is observed in practical deployment depends on how diverse are the components that constitute the system. In this paper w...
متن کاملMeasurement and Analysis of Operating System Fault Tolerance
This paperdemonstratesa methodology tomodel and evaluatethe faulttolerancecharacteristics of operational software. The methodology is illustrated through case studies on three different operating systems: the Tandem GUARDIAN fault-tolerant system, the VAX/VMS distributed system, and the IBM/MVS system. Measurements are made on these systems for substantial periods to collect software error and ...
متن کاملIntrusion-avoidance via System Diversity
The paper discusses a generic intrusion-avoidance architecture allowing the system architects to decrease the risk of intrusions. The architecture employs software diversity at various system levels and dynamically reconfigures the deployment environment to avoid intrusions. This solution reduces the so-called system’s days-of-risk which is a period of an increased security risk between the tim...
متن کاملA Host Intrusion Prevention System for Windows Operating Systems
We propose an intrusion prevention system called WHIPS that controls, entirely in kernel mode, the invocation of the critical system calls for the Windows OS security. WHIPS is implemented as a kernel driver, also called kernel module, by using kernel structures of the Windows OS. It is integrated without requiring changes to either the kernel data structures or to the kernel algorithms. WHIPS ...
