P-TAXI : enforcing memory safety with programmable tagged architecture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
Buffer overflow is a well-known problem that remains a threat to software security. With the advancement of code-reuse attacks and return-oriented programming (ROP), it becomes problematic to protect a program from being ...
A super-nyquist architecture for rateless underwater acoustic communication
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Oceans cover about 70 percent of Earth's surface. Despite the abundant resources they contain, much of them remain unexplored. Underwater communication plays a key role in the area of deep ocean exploration. It is also ...
Non-Gaussian noise spectroscopy with superconducting qubits
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Most quantum control and quantum error-correction protocols assume that the noise causing decoherence is described by Gaussian statistics. However, the Gaussianity assumption breaks down when the quantum system is strongly ...
Amazon UK transshipment stow process analysis through discrete event simulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
This thesis investigated Amazon's implementation of transshipment, the act of moving inventory between fulfillment centers to facilitate order fulfillment, inventory rebalancing, and operational cost reduction. The role ...
ROAD : Rapid Optical Asteroid Detection
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
Here we present Tilt and the Three-Dimensional Discrete Radon Transform (3DRT), efficient image processing algorithms capable of identifying streaks at the detection limit in video of the night sky. Tilt and the 3DRT are ...
Video annotation for choreographers on the NB platform
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
The NB Platform, originally developed to host discussion on class materials, has been adapted to suit the needs of dance choreographers. A Video Annotator was developed, and features requested by choreographers were added ...
Search tools for scaling expert code review to the global classroom
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
This thesis aims to answer the question "How can teachers of online classrooms give more qualitative feedback to students?" We narrow the scope of this question to an online software engineering class in which a major ...
Defeating code reuse attacks with minimal tagged architecture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
In this thesis, we argue that software-based defenses to code reuse attacks are fundamentally flawed. With code pointer integrity as a case study, we show that a secure and efficient software-based defense to code reuse ...
Designing a SQL query rewriter to enforce database Row Level Security
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
This thesis presents the design and implementation of Row Level Security, a fine-grained access control mechanism built on top of a database-agnostic data sharing platform called DataHub. Existing access control mechanisms ...
Simulation of an optical network system for a space based high performance computer system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
An important future addition for a Space Based High Performance Computer System is a high-speed optical network for faster data transmission. The purpose of this project is to research and simulate next generation computing ...
