Abstract:Next generation non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies will change the design of major operating system components and how applications will be written because it deviates from the volatility and capacity assumptions of primary memory in the conventional computer systems design. A program's persistent data and run-time objects that contain sensitive information and without proper security mechanisms in place, it exposes to critical attacks. In this paper, we will introduce Secure Object Stores (SOS), which is an object-based mechanism to access the NVM. We also illustrate different use-cases that can take advantage of the SOS.
