Abstract


Over the past seven years my work has slowly migrated "up" in levels of abstraction: from building simulation models of MEMS-based storage, to real-time emulation of online storage devices, to squeezing more efficiency out of the OS-storage interface, to adding intrusion monitoring functionality to computationally-enhanced storage. My current work, on providing "real security-related guarantees in virtualized execution environments," continues my upward migration.

In this talk I survey several of the more interesting results from my earlier storage-oriented work at CMU, and I describe some of the new security-oriented directions I'm pursuing at IBM.
