Availability is a critical issue in modern distributed systems. While many techniques and protocols for preventing denial of service (DoS) attacks have been proposed and deployed ...
Abstract. We present a “memory-model-sensitive” approach to validating correctness properties for multithreaded programs. Our key insight is that by specifying both the inter-t...
The purpose of this work is to automate the analysis of ad hoc routing protocols in the presence of attackers. To this end, a formal model of protocol behavior is developed in whi...
