Call for Presentations: PriSC 2022 @ POPL 2022
================================================
The emerging field of secure compilation aims to preserve security
properties of programs when they have been compiled to low-level
languages such as assembly, where high-level abstractions don’t exist,
and unsafe, unexpected interactions with libraries, other programs,
the operating system and even the hardware are possible. For unsafe
source languages like C, secure compilation requires careful handling
of undefined source-language behavior (like buffer overflows and
double frees). Formally, secure compilation aims to protect high-level
language abstractions in compiled code, even against adversarial
low-level contexts, thus enabling sound reasoning about security in
the source language. A complementary goal is to keep the compiled code
efficient, often leveraging new hardware security features and
advances in compiler design. Other necessary components are
identifying and formalizing properties that secure compilers must
possess, devising efficient security mechanisms (both software and
hardware), and developing effective verification and proof techniques.
Research in the field thus puts together advances in compiler design,
programming languages, systems security, verification, and computer
architecture.
6th Workshop on Principles of Secure Compilation (PriSC 2022)
=============================================================
The Workshop on Principles of Secure Compilation (PriSC) is a relatively
new, informal 1-day workshop without any proceedings. The goal is to
bring together researchers interested in secure compilation and to
identify interesting research directions and open challenges. The 6th
edition of PriSC will be held on January 22, together with the ACM
SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL), 2022.
We hope to hold the workshop in person with for support for dial-in
attendees.
Important Dates
===============
* Thu 28 Oct 2021: Submission Deadline
* Thu 18 Nov 2021: Acceptance Notification
* Sat 22 Jan 2022: Workshop
Presentation Proposals and Attending the Workshop
=================================================
Anyone interested in presenting at the workshop should submit an
extended abstract (up to 2 pages, details below) covering past,
ongoing, or future work. Any topic that could be of interest to secure
compilation is in scope. Secure compilation should be interpreted very
broadly to include any work in security, programming languages,
architecture, systems or their combination that can be leveraged to
preserve security properties of programs when they are compiled or to
eliminate low-level vulnerabilities. Presentations that provide a
useful outside view or challenge the community are also welcome. This
includes presentations on new attack vectors such as
microarchitectural side-channels, whose defenses could benefit from
compiler techniques.
Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Attacker models for secure compiler chains.
* Secure compiler properties: fully abstract compilation and similar
properties, memory safety, control-flow integrity, preservation of
safety, information flow and other (hyper-)properties against
adversarial contexts, secure multi-language interoperability.
* Secure interaction between different programming languages: foreign
function interfaces, gradual types, securely combining different
memory management strategies.
* Enforcement mechanisms and low-level security primitives: static
checking, program verification, typed assembly languages, reference
monitoring, program rewriting, software-based isolation/hiding
techniques (SFI, crypto-based, randomization-based,
OS/hypervisor-based), security-oriented architectural features such as
Intel’s SGX, MPX and MPK, capability machines, side-channel defenses,
object capabilities.
* Experimental evaluation and applications of secure compilers.
* Proof methods relevant to compilation: (bi)simulation, logical
relations, game semantics, trace semantics, multi-language semantics,
embedded interpreters.
* Formal verification of secure compilation chains (protection
mechanisms, compilers, linkers, loaders), machine-checked proofs,
translation validation, property-based testing.
Guidelines for Submitting Extended Abstracts
============================================
Extended abstracts should be submitted in PDF format and not exceed 2
pages (references not including). They should be formatted in
two-column layout, 10pt font, and be printable on A4 and US Letter
sized paper. We recommend using the new acmart LaTeX style in sigplan
mode.
Submissions are not anonymous and should provide sufficient detail to
be assessed by the program committee. Presentation at the workshop
does not preclude publication elsewhere.
