FS2PV is a verification tool that compiles cryptographic-protocol implementations in a first-order subset of F# to a formal pi-calculus model. This pi-calculus model then can be analyzed using ProVerif to prove the desired security properties…
The “extensible MIPS” is a dynamically extensible processor for general-purpose, multi-user systems. The reconfigurable logic (Extensions) dynamically load/unload application-specific circuits. Extensions add specialized instructions to the processor, security monitors, debuggers, new on-chip peripherals. Extended Instructions…
Giano is a simulation framework for the full-system simulation of arbitrary computer systems, with special emphasis on the hardware-software co-development of system software and Real-Time embedded applications. Overview Giano allows the simultaneous execution of binary…
