Outline of Final Research Achievements

Top 5 of typical software vulnerabilities are (1)Web applications, (2)insufficient buffer checking, (3)insufficient software design, (4)insufficient string checking, and (5)insufficient access control. In this research, we focused on (2) and tried to solve the problem. (2) is very large impact because it is included in not only applications but also libraries. Furthermore many challenges have been taken to solve the problem but they could not do that. So, in this research, we proposed extended CPU and OS for supporting it. And we have shown the problems are solved by our proposal.
