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.

过去十年来，我们自动分析源代码安全属性的能力取得了巨大进步。 这些进步正在转化为实践并对软件安全产生广泛影响。 然而，这项工作的成功部分受到以下事实的限制：有许多安全属性我们不知道如何分析。该项目旨在采取几个初步步骤来扩展可检查的安全属性的范围和范围在大型软件系统上。 该研究涉及三个轨道。 首先，我们将研究编程语言的设计如何支持安全编程实践。 其次，我们将研究分析内存安全的技术，这是一种复杂但基本的安全属性，令人惊讶的是，今天仍然无法进行静态检查。 第三，我们将研究如何检查网络软件是否与标准委员会对网络协议的描述中隐含的规范一致。 这三个方向结合在一起，将使我们能够提供从低级到高级的安全属性的端到端保证。 该项目的目标是开始开发下一代技术以提高软件安全性。
