New York: Association for Computing Machinery.9781450309790http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:9793866SAFE is a clean-slate design for a secure host architecture. It integrates advances in programming languages, operating systems, and hardware and incorporates formal methods at every step. Though the project is still at an early stage, we have assembled a set of basic architectural choices that we believe will yield a high-assurance system. We sketch the current state of the design and discuss several of these choices.en-USMonograph or Book2012-10-2210.1145/2039239.2039245
