    similar to the Quick Double Switch, but only difference is that the attacker maintains remote access to the victim's machine. This access allows the attacker to interact with the victim’s machine from time to time, execute arbitrary code, and collect that code’s output. Attack Execution Phase: The attacker tricks the victim (using phishing or drive-by transfer attacks) or uses an exploit in order to execute the Switcher in victim's device. The Switcher then place the attacker’s synchronization token

    time compilation JIT, also known as dynamic translation, compilation is done during execution of a program at run time rather than prior to execution. Most often this consists of translation to machine code, which is then executed directly, but can also refer to translation to the another format. There are two types of JIT compilation is a combination of the two traditional approaches translation which is machine code ahead of time compilation and the other is interpretation and combines some advantages

    The article that I read about the racial bias of the death penalty in the U.S. by David Love explained how southern states are responsible for the vast majority of African American executions in the United States. Love explicitly stated that “the application of the U.S. death penalty is unfair, arbitrary, and racially biased.” Most disturbingly, the article explained that whether or not a capital punishment defendant receives the death penalty does not depend on the facts of the case but more so

    overall security rather than arbitrarily which was the case earlier. 9.1 Isolated Execution Environment Isolating execution also often referred as trusted execution environment (TEE) gives the device and so the service and providers and OEMs the ability to run a software modules in complete isolation from untrusted code. Executing code and data in complete isolation provides secrecy and integrity of that module’s code and data at run-time. Conventional rich mobile

    I experimented with running the auto-grader in a virtual machine in order to mitigate the security risks of running arbitrary student code. I also wrote scripts and programs to grade digital logic circuits automatically based on Logisim's code base and other code found online. Collaborated with professor Sanjay Rajopadhye to prepare lectures, address student concerns, keep the two CS 270 sections synchronized, and supervise teaching assistants

    functionality. A fault that presents different symptoms to different observers is called a Byzantine fault. These Byzantine faults form the reason for the loss of a system service and are called Byzantine failures. A Byzantine failure may occur due to arbitrary problems like corruption in their local state, production of incorrect outputs or by processing requests incorrectly instead of the general situations like crashing or stopping. The ability of a system to defend itself from Byzantine failures is
