Komodo: Using verification to disentangle secure-enclave hardware from software (2017, methodology): “Our verification methodology builds on the tools and techniques developed in Verve [89], Ironclad [38] and IronFleet [39], however the most closely related verified systems are the kernels seL4 [49], CertiKOS [34, 35] and überSpark [84].”
Improving Graph Neural Network Representations of Logical Formulae with Subgraph Pooling (2019, background): “It has been a longstanding, active area of artificial intelligence research that has demonstrated utility in the design of operating systems [1, 2], distributed systems [3, 4], compilers [5, 6], microprocessor design [7], and in general mathematics [8].”
A survey of microarchitectural timing attacks and countermeasures on contemporary hardware (2016, background): “Specifically, the seL4 microkernel [93] has a proof of binary-level functional correctness, as well as proofs of (spatial) confidentiality, availability and integrity enforcement [94].”
Learning Shape Analysis (2017, background): “CompCert [27], miTLS [6], seL4 [24], and IronFleet [19]).”
