Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Machine

Modern systems keep long memories. As we show in this paper, an adversary who gains access to a Linux system, even one that implements secure deallocation, can recover the contents of applications’ windows, audio buffers, and data remaining in device drivers—long after the applications have terminated. We design and implement Lacuna, a system that allows users to run programs in “private sessio...

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Machine: Protecting Privacy with Ephemeral Channels

The eternal sunshine of the sketch data structure

In the past years there has been significant research on developing compact data structures for summarizing large data streams. A family of such data structures is the so-called sketches. Sketches bear similarities to the well-known Bloom filters [2] and employ hashing techniques to approximate the count associated with an arbitrary key in a data stream using fixed memory resources. One limitat...
