Archives of the Caml mailing list > Message from Julian Assange
"Revealing a passphrase only requires (some of) the brain and jaw or hand to be left functional. Revealing a passphrase is quick and requires few higher cognitive functions, thus it is vulnerable to peak pain, hallucinogens and `truth drugs' such as schopolomine."

Crash-Only Software
Crash-only programs crash safely and recover quickly. There is only one way to stop such softwary - by crashing it - and only one way to bring it up - by initiating recovery.

Integral Security
Integer overflow and wraparound are major causes of software vulnerabilities in the C and C++ programming languages. In this paper we present the as-if infinitely ranged (AIR) integer model, which provides a largely automated mechanism for eliminating integer overflow and integer truncation. The AIR integer model either produces a value equivalent to one that would have been obtained using infinitely ranged integers or results in a runtime constraint violation. Unlike previous integer models, AIR integers do not require precise traps, and consequently do not break or inhibit most existing optimizations.

VX32 Virtual Extension Environment
Vx32 is a user-mode library that can be linked into arbitrary applications that wish to create secure, isolated execution environments in which to run untrusted extensions or plug-ins implemented as native x86 code.
