Abstract

We simulated message passing information flow tracking in Simics, a multicore full system simulator. Our implementation provides both protection from unauthorized communication and a bounding on the impact an adversarial application can have on the system. We present the performance results of our micro-benchmarks that simulate the expected behavior for a web server and a number of potential adversarial workloads.
