Sidewinder: Defense in depth using type enforcement

چکیده

Sites use firewalls to defend against external attacks while providing necessary Internet services. Firewalls make a site safer: they present a smaller risk since they provide fewer services. However, most firewalls use standard computer operating systems. This can allow an attacker to overrun the firewall if a known security flaw is present. The Sidewinder firewall system overcomes this problem using type enforcement. Network server applications operate in independently controlled compartments called domains, each granted specific permissions to access particular types of files or communicate with other domains. If a server succumbs to an attack, type enforcement restricts the amount of damage an attacker can do. In particular, Sidewinder prevents an attack on an Internet server from accessing domains serving internal, protected networks. An attacker can not overrun a Sidewinder because the type enforcement restrictions can not be disabled while the system is handling network traffic.

Expression of Caytaxin Protein in Cayman Ataxia Mouse Models Correlates with Phenotype Severity

Caytaxin is a highly-conserved protein, which is encoded by the Atcay/ATCAY gene. Mutations in Atcay/ATCAY have been identified as causative of cerebellar disorders such as the rare hereditary disease Cayman ataxia in humans, generalized dystonia in the dystonic (dt) rat, and marked motor defects in three ataxic mouse lines. While several lines of evidence suggest that Caytaxin plays a critical...
