Klava: a Java package for distributed and mobile applications

public void execute() throws KlavaException This method will be invoked when a process is executed (just like run for threads). A process must be executed within a node, which will be its execution environment. KlavaProcess also offers all the methods to access tuple spaces; these methods transparently call the corresponding methods of the class NetNode. In the new hierarchical model of KLAIM, ...

Aggrandizing the beast's limbs: patulous code reuse attack on ARM architecture

Since smartphones are usually personal devices full of private information, they are a popular target for a vast variety of real-world attacks such as Code Reuse Attack (CRA). CRAs enable attackers to execute any arbitrary algorithm on a device without injecting an executable code. Since the standard platform for mobile devices is ARM architecture, we concentrate on available ARM-based CRAs. Cu...

An Overview on Mobile Code Security

Mobile code technology offers significant benefits that enhance cross-platform capabilities, system automation, and resource sharing while creating a plethora of security risks. Security is the precondition to universal reception of mobile code systems. In this survey, we provide a general overview of the mobile code security field by presenting several current and envisioned applications of mo...

Dwarf Frankenstein is still in your memory: tiny code reuse attacks

Code reuse attacks such as return oriented programming and jump oriented programming are the most popular exploitation methods among attackers. A large number of practical and non-practical defenses are proposed that differ in their overhead, the source code requirement, detection rate and implementation dependencies. However, a usual aspect among these methods is consideration of the common be...
