The last ten years have seen substantial progress in our ability to automatically analyze source code for security properties. These advances are transitioning into practice and making a broad impact on software security. However, the success of this work has been partially limited by the fact that there are many security properties that we do not know how to analyze.This project seeks to take several initial steps towards extending the range and scope of security properties that can be checked on large software systems. The research involves three tracks. First, we will investigate how the design of programming languages can support secure programming practices. Second, we will study techniques for analyzing memory safety, a a complex yet fundamental security property that, surprisingly, is still not statically checkable today. Third, we will study how to check that networking software is consistent with the specifications implied in standards committees' descriptions of network protocols. Integrated together, these three directions will allow us to provide end-to-end guarantees of security properties that span from low to high level. The goal of this project is to begin the work of developing a future generation of techniques for improving software security.

在过去的十年中，我们自动分析安全属性源代码的能力取得了很大的进步。 这些进步正在实践中过渡，并对软件安全产生广泛的影响。 但是，这项工作的成功部分受到了以下事实的限制：我们不知道如何进行分析的安全属性。本项目试图采取几个初步步骤来扩展可以在大型软件系统上检查的安全属性范围和范围。 该研究涉及三个曲目。 首先，我们将研究编程语言的设计如何支持安全的编程实践。 其次，我们将研究分析记忆安全的技术，这是一个复杂而基本的安全性属性，令人惊讶的是，今天仍然无法静态检查。 第三，我们将研究如何检查网络软件与标准委员会对网络协议的描述中暗示的规格一致。 集成在一起，这三个方向将使我们能够提供从低到高水平的安全属性的端到端保证。 该项目的目的是开始开发未来一代以改善软件安全性的技术。
