Title: From Memory Safety on x86 to Security in Android Systems and Applications

Abstract: Software and systems security researchers have been working on enhancing memory safety of the x86 platform for many years, and are probably more active in the research of mobile systems research in recent years. I will begin this talk with our recent work on leveraging a dual-stack architecture on the x86 platform, and then move on to a series of research projects on Android systems and application security, including Return-Oriented Programming attacks on the new ART runtime, vulnerability in apps declaring their platform SDK versions, and a library-based approach to defend against component hijacking attacks. I will conclude my talk by briefly describing some ongoing projects on Android as well as employment and study opportunities at Secure Mobile Center Singapore.
