Improperly validated user input is the underlying root cause for a wide variety of attacks on web-based applications. Static approaches for detecting this problem help at the time...
This paper presents FlexiTaint, a hardware accelerator for dynamic taint propagation. FlexiTaint is implemented as an in-order addition to the back-end of the processor pipeline, ...
