Memory corruption vulnerabilities are the root cause of many modern attacks. Existing defense mechanisms are inadequate; in general, the software-based approaches are not efficient and the hardware-based approaches are not flexible. In this paper, we …
As high-speed networks are becoming commonplace, it is increasingly challenging
to prevent the attack attempts at the edge of the Internet. While many
high-performance intrusion detection systems (IDSes) employ dedicated network
processors or special …
