10:00a - 10:15a | Welcome and Overview | NCSA Auditorium |
10:15a - 11:15a | Keynote: System Security Research From Discovery to Innovation XiaoFeng Wang, Indiana University Innovations in security research often come from the curiosity about how rules can be bent. The interdisciplinary nature of system security further presents the researcher a vast space to explore such opportunities. In this talk, I will share our experience in finding and understanding security weaknesses on the technology frontier, demonstrating how big questions can be asked to help discover subtle but fundamental security problems inside modern computing systems, and how such findings can reshape system security designs, bringing forth new techniques, new research directions. More specifically, using mobile and IoT as examples, I will show that discovery and analysis of their surprising side channel weaknesses (which can be exploited by even the apps without permissions to expose one’s identity, locations, health information, etc.) questions the "security by construction" designs of these systems, identifying what need to be addressed to better protect them. Further to be presented is the preliminary effort to automate such a discovery process, by leveraging the knowledge automatically recovered from documents to guide detection of security-critical vulnerabilities. Finally, I will highlight the key insights of system security research and discuss the directions that might impact the development of new security technologies in the years to come. | NCSA Auditorium |
