Microkernel Mechanisms for Improving the Trustworthiness of Commodity Hardware
Microkernel Mechanisms for Improving the Trustworthiness of Commodity Hardware Yanyan Shen Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Computer Science and Engineering Faculty of Engineering March 2019 Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname/Family Name : Shen Given Name/s : Yanyan Abbreviation for degree as give in the University calendar : PhD Faculty : Faculty of Engineering School : School of Computer Science and Engineering Microkernel Mechanisms for Improving the Trustworthiness of Commodity Thesis Title : Hardware Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) The thesis presents microkernel-based software-implemented mechanisms for improving the trustworthiness of computer systems based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware that can malfunction when the hardware is impacted by transient hardware faults. The hardware anomalies, if undetected, can cause data corruptions, system crashes, and security vulnerabilities, significantly undermining system dependability. Specifically, we adopt the single event upset (SEU) fault model and address transient CPU or memory faults. We take advantage of the functional correctness and isolation guarantee provided by the formally verified seL4 microkernel and hardware redundancy provided by multicore processors, design the redundant co-execution (RCoE) architecture that replicates a whole software system (including the microkernel) onto different CPU cores, and implement two variants, loosely-coupled redundant co-execution (LC-RCoE) and closely-coupled redundant co-execution (CC-RCoE), for the ARM and x86 architectures. RCoE treats each replica of the software system as a state machine and ensures that the replicas start from the same initial state, observe consistent inputs, perform equivalent state transitions, and thus produce consistent outputs during error-free executions. -
Windows NT Architecture Previous Screen Gilbert Held Payoff Windows NT Is a Sophisticated Operating System for Workstations and Network Servers
50-30-19 Windows NT Architecture Previous screen Gilbert Held Payoff Windows NT is a sophisticated operating system for workstations and network servers. This article helps network managers to understand the communications capability of workstations and servers running on Windows NT, and data base administrators to determine the suitability of this platform for a structured query language (SQL) data base server. Introduction Windows NT is a 32-bit, preemptive multitasking operating system that includes comprehensive networking capabilities and several levels of security. Microsoft markets two version of Windows NT: one for workstations—appropriately named Windows NT Workstation—and a second for servers—Windows NT Server. This article, which describes the workings of the NT architecture, collectively references both versions as Windows NT when information is applicable to both versions of the operating system. Similarly, it references a specific version of the operating system when the information presented is specific to either Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server. Architecture Windows NT consists of nine basic modules. The relationship of those modules to one another, as well as to the hardware platform on which the operating system runs, is illustrated in Exhibit 1. Windows NT Core Modules Hardware Abstraction Layer The hardware abstraction layer (HAL) is located directly above the hardware on which Windows NT operates. HAL actually represents a software module developed by hardware manufacturers that is bundled into Windows NT to allow it to operate on a specific hardware platform, such as Intel X86, DEC Alpha, or IBM PowerPC. HAL hides the specifics of the hardware platform from the rest of the operating system and represents the lowest level of Windows NT. -

11.7 the Windows 2000 File System
830 CASE STUDY 2: WINDOWS 2000 CHAP. 11 11.7 THE WINDOWS 2000 FILE SYSTEM Windows 2000 supports several file systems, the most important of which are FAT-16, FAT-32, and NTFS (NT File System). FAT-16 is the old MS-DOS file system. It uses 16-bit disk addresses, which limits it to disk partitions no larger than 2 GB. FAT-32 uses 32-bit disk addresses and supports disk partitions up to 2 TB. NTFS is a new file system developed specifically for Windows NT and car- ried over to Windows 2000. It uses 64-bit disk addresses and can (theoretically) support disk partitions up to 264 bytes, although other considerations limit it to smaller sizes. Windows 2000 also supports read-only file systems for CD-ROMs and DVDs. It is possible (even common) to have the same running system have access to multiple file system types available at the same time. In this chapter we will treat the NTFS file system because it is a modern file system unencumbered by the need to be fully compatible with the MS-DOS file system, which was based on the CP/M file system designed for 8-inch floppy disks more than 20 years ago. Times have changed and 8-inch floppy disks are not quite state of the art any more. Neither are their file systems. Also, NTFS differs both in user interface and implementation in a number of ways from the UNIX file system, which makes it a good second example to study. NTFS is a large and complex system and space limitations prevent us from covering all of its features, but the material presented below should give a reasonable impression of it. -

Chapter 1: Linux Operating System
CHAPTER 1: LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM A bit of history What is Linux? A short answer to this question is "a computer operating system based on Linux kernel and GNU tools and libraries". In order to understand what Linux is, first we need to know different concepts such as Linux, kernel, and GNU. Formally, Linux is not an operating system. It's just a software component working as a bridge between applications and the data processing done by the hardware. Because of this fact, the kernel is the core component of an operating system. First Linux kernel was written by Linus Torvalds in 1991. Usually, the term Linux is used to refer to a whole operating system based on the kernel. However, an operating system needs more components to be complete. At this point, there are a number of operating system based on Linux kernel, plus a set of tools provided by the GNU open source project. What are GNU tools? Well, first of all we should learn about the GNU project. Basically, this is an open source project started by Richard Stallman with the goal of building a set of software components and tools to avoid the use of any software that is not free. Now that we've learned about Linux, kernel, and GNU, we can define a distribution as a composition of Linux kernel and GNU tools and other useful software. We've just mentioned a new concept—distribution. Have you heard about Linux mascot: Tux the penguin Ubuntu, Fedora, or Debian? These three are examples of Linux distributions. -

How to enable NTLM 2 authentication Page 1 of 3 Article ID: 239869 - Last Review: January 25, 2007 - Revision: 4.7 How to enable NTLM 2 authentication System Tip This article applies to a different version of Windows than the one you are using. Content in this article may not be relevant to you. Visit the Windows 7 Solution Center This article was previously published under Q239869 SUMMARY Historically, Windows NT supports two variants of challenge/response authentication for network logons: • LAN Manager (LM) challenge/response • Windows NT challenge/response (also known as NTLM version 1 challenge/response) The LM variant allows interoperability with the installed base of Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows 98 Second Edition clients and servers. NTLM provides improved security for connections between Windows NT clients and servers. Windows NT also supports the NTLM session security mechanism that provides for message confidentiality (encryption) and integrity (signing). Recent improvements in computer hardware and software algorithms have made these protocols vulnerable to widely published attacks for obtaining user passwords. In its ongoing efforts to deliver more secure products to its customers, Microsoft has developed an enhancement, called NTLM version 2, that significantly improves both the authentication and session security mechanisms. NTLM 2 has been available for Windows NT 4.0 since Service Pack 4 (SP4) was released, and it is supported natively in Windows 2000. You can add NTLM 2 support to Windows 98 by installing the Active Directory Client Extensions. After you upgrade all computers that are based on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows NT 4.0, you can greatly improve your organization's security by configuring clients, servers, and domain controllers to use only NTLM 2 (not LM or NTLM). -
A Hardware Abstraction Layer in Java
A Hardware Abstraction Layer in Java MARTIN SCHOEBERL Vienna University of Technology, Austria STEPHAN KORSHOLM Aalborg University, Denmark TOMAS KALIBERA Purdue University, USA and ANDERS P. RAVN Aalborg University, Denmark Embedded systems use specialized hardware devices to interact with their environment, and since they have to be dependable, it is attractive to use a modern, type-safe programming language like Java to develop programs for them. Standard Java, as a platform independent language, delegates access to devices, direct memory access, and interrupt handling to some underlying operating system or kernel, but in the embedded systems domain resources are scarce and a Java virtual machine (JVM) without an underlying middleware is an attractive architecture. The contribution of this paper is a proposal for Java packages with hardware objects and interrupt handlers that interface to such a JVM. We provide implementations of the proposal directly in hardware, as extensions of standard interpreters, and finally with an operating system middleware. The latter solution is mainly seen as a migration path allowing Java programs to coexist with legacy system components. An important aspect of the proposal is that it is compatible with the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ).
