[Excerpt] CONTACT TRACING IS a time-proven technique for breaking infection chains in epidemics. Public health officials interview those who come in contact with an infectious agent, such as a virus, to identify exposed,&#x...

We present DIO, a generic tool for observing inefficient and erroneous I/O interactions between applications and in-kernel storage backends that lead to performance, dependability, and correctness issues. DIO eases the analysis and enables&#x...

We propose Soteria, a system for distributed privacy-preserving Machine Learning (ML) that leverages Trusted Execution Environments (e.g. Intel SGX) to run code in isolated containers (enclaves). Unlike previous work, where all ML-related computat...

The adoption of third-party machine learning (ML) cloud services is highly dependent on the security guarantees and the performance penalty they incur on workloads for model training and inference. This paper explores security/performance...
