Description

An existing binary static analyzer will be enhanced to provide both exploit protections and anti-memory-tampering defenses via static rewriting rules. A binary static analyzer will accept the original binary and the rewriting rules and produce a new, protected binary. Formal theorem-proving methods will be used to verify that the security instrumentation does not alter correct execution of the program when not under attack.
