“…Secure checkpointing schemes [75] generally leverage cryptography to protect the integrity and confidentiality of checkpoint data at rest. However they generally do not consider attacks that may tamper with checkpointing code at the application level.…”

“…Existing approaches to checkpoint & restore, such as CRIU [52] provide support for process snapshots that can enable rollback-like functionality. However, checkpoint & restore generally suffers from high overheads due to relying on reproducing process memory and do not consider in-memory attacks in their threat models [64,75,109,114,117]. SDRoB avoids these drawbacks by combining in-process isolation to limit the scope of attacks and to ensure the integrity of memory after rollback.…”

The use of unsafe programming languages still remains one of the major root causes of software vulnerabilities. Although well-known defenses that detect and mitigate memory-safety related issues exist, they don't address the challenge of software resilience, i.e., whether a system under attack can continue to carry out its function when subjected to malicious input. We propose secure rollback of isolated domains as an efficient and secure method of improving the resilience of software targeted by run-time attacks. We show the practicability of our methodology by realizing a software library for Secure Domain Rollback (SDRoB) and demonstrate how SDRoB can be applied to real-world software.

“…The choice of the hash function impacts the correctness, since many hash functions present a significant probability of collisions, that is, situations where two different memory blocks are assigned the same hash value. In order to achieve reliable operation, secure hash functions should be used 26) . The implementation in CPPC allows the user to choose between different secure hash functions, such as MD5 or SHA.…”

Improving Scalability of Application-Level Checkpoint-Recovery by Reducing Checkpoint Sizes

et al. 2013

The execution times of large-scale parallel applications on nowadays multi/many-core systems are usually longer than the mean time between failures. Therefore, parallel applications must tolerate hardware failures to ensure that not all computation done is lost on machine failures. Checkpointing and rollback recovery is one of the most popular techniques to implement fault-tolerant applications. However, checkpointing parallel applications is expensive in terms of computing time, network utilization and storage resources. Thus, current checkpoint-recovery techniques should minimize these costs in order to be useful for large scale systems. In this paper three different and complementary techniques to reduce the size of the checkpoints generated by application-level checkpointing are proposed and implemented. Detailed experimental results obtained on a multicore cluster show the effectiveness of the proposed methods to reduce checkpointing cost.
