Richard Harris The White House Office of the National Cyber Director has released a report asking software manufacturers to adopt memory safe programming languages to help reduce vulnerabilities from entering the supply chain. The White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) has released ...
Memory-safe languages are only just appearing in the world of embedded software, which is dominated by C and C++. For embedded systems, it is often more efficient to look for hardware safety mechanisms such as fine-grained memory protection. Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions (CHERI),...
The C programming language is not a memory-safe language. However, C allows developers to do whatever they want or need, whether it is safe. To some degree, this is one reason why C has been so successful. Developers don’t have to fight the compiler to get their code to compile and...
have emphasized the need for renewed focus on memory safety by the software industry. This culminated in a US White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) report, urging software manufacturers to adopt secure-by-design technologies, such as memory-safe programming languages and ...
Occlum is the first SGX LibOS written in a memory-safe programming language (Rust). Thus, Occlum is much less likely to contain low-level, memory-safety bugs and is more trustworthy to host security-critical applications. Ease-of-use. Occlum provides user-friendly build and command-line tools...
C++Programming LanguagesRustWhat makes the Rust language one of the best for writing fast, memory-safe applications? Rust's memory-safety features are baked into the language itself. Credit: Ruslan Grumble/Shutterstock Over the past decade, Rust has emerged as a language of choice for people ...
Google, whichformally announcedits plans to support the Rust programming language in Android way back in April 2021, said it began prioritizing transitioning new development to memory-safe languages around 2019. As a result, the number of memory safety vulnerabilities discovered in the operating system...
This provides an approach to safe deallocation, but only when these subtle protocols are implemented correctly. We present a static type system to ensure the correct use of RCU memory management: that nodes removed from a data structure are always scheduled for subsequent deallocation, and that ...
