BEGIN:VCALENDAR BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:CS Colloquium: Ardalan Amiri Sani (UC Irvine) - Dealing with Vulnerabilities in Device Drivers DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ardalan Amiri Sani, UC Irvine Talk Title: Dealing with Vulnerabilities in Device Drivers Series: Computer Science Colloquium Abstract: Vulnerabilities in the device drivers of today's commodity operating systems (e.g., Android) remain a security concern due to the monolithic structure of the kernel. In this talk, we investigate three methods to mitigate this concern, with a focus on mobile devices. These approaches include a novel tool to find and fix these vulnerabilities, an efficient vetting layer to make exploits harder, and a device driver design possible for I/O devices with virtualization support.\n \n This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Research Colloquium. Please note, due to limited capacity, seats will be first come first serve.\n Biography: Ardalan Amiri Sani is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science department at UC Irvine. His research is at the intersection of mobile computing, security, and operating systems. His work has appeared in various top-tier conferences such as MobiSys (including a best paper award), USENIX Security, CCS, and ASPLOS. Ardalan received his Ph.D. from Rice University in 2015.\n Host: Ramesh Govindan DTSTART:20181003T110000 LOCATION:OHE 100D URL;VALUE=URI: DTEND:20181003T122000 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
