Abstract

Researchers at Telcordia Technologies and the State University of New York, Stony Brook, are working on an approach that gives computer users new capabilities for defending against exploitation of application security vulnerabilities by allowing rapid development and deployment of real-time defenses. Their solution involves monitoring and changing an application's behavior by intercepting the system calls it requests.
