Analyzed Linux kernel using Data Structure Analysis (DSA) based on LLVM to automatically generate interface definition language code for isolating kernel modules for enhancing security.

  • Investigated the IDL generation framework based on the Data Structure Analysis (DSA) approach by Chris Lattner on program graphs.

  • Showed how incorrect information can traverse between nodes of a graph in DSA, under certain circumstances.
