정보보안을 달성하기 위해서 컴퓨터가 보급된 이래로 많은 노력이 이루어졌다. 그중 메모리 보호 기법에 대한 연구가 가장 많이 이루어졌지만, 컴퓨터의 성능 향상으로 이전의 메모리 보호 기법들의 문제들이 발견되고, 부채널 공격의 등장으로 새로운 방어책이 필요 되었다. 본 논문에서는 프로그램에 정적 바이너리 재작성(Static Binary Rewriting) 기법을 통해 페이지(Page)마다 4~8byte 의 난수를 삽입하여 메모리 공유 기반 부채널 공격을 방어할 수 있는 2 가지 방법을 제시한다. 최근 아키텍처는 분기 예측(Branch Prediction)을 통해 jmp 명령어에 대한 분기처리가 매우 빠르고 정확하게 처리되기 때문에 난수를 삽입할 때 사용하는 jmp+rand 방식은 오버헤드가 매우 낮다. 또한 특정 프로그램에만 난수 삽입이 가능하므로 특히 클라우드 환경에서 중복제거 기능과 함께 사용하면 높은 효율성을 보일 수 있다고 예상한다.

Since computer became available, much effort has been made to achieve information security. Even though memory protection defense mechanisms were studied the most among of them, the problems of existing memory protection defense mechanisms were found due to improved performance of computer and new defense mechanisms were needed due to the advent of the side-channel attacks. In this paper, we propose JMP+RAND that embedding random values of 5 to 8 bytes per page to defend against memory sharing based side-channel attacks and bridging the gap of existing memory protection defense mechanism. Unlike the defense mechanism of the existing side-channel attacks, JMP+RAND uses static binary rewriting and continuous jmp instruction and random values to defend against the side-channel attacks in advance. We numerically calculated the time it takes for a memory sharing-based side-channel attack to binary adopted JMP+RAND technique and verified that the attacks are impossible in a realistic time. Modern architectures have very low overhead for JMP+RAND because of the very fast and accurate branching of jmp instruction using branch prediction. Since random value can be embedded only in specific programs using JMP+RAND, it is expected to be highly efficient when used with memory deduplication technique, especially in a cloud computing environment.

Software reengineering is making various research for solutions against problem of maintain existing systems. Reengineering has a meaning of development of software on exizting systems through the reverse engineering auf forward engineering. Most of the important concepts used in reengineering is composition that is restructuring of the existing objects. Is there a compiler that can compile a program written in a traditional procedural language (like C or Pascal) and generate a Java bytecode, rather than an executable code that runs oかy on the machine it was compiled (such as an a.out file on a Unix machine)\ulcorner This type of compiler may be very handy for today's computing environment of heterogeneous networks. In this paper we present a software system that does this job at the binary-to-binary level. It takes the compiled binary code of a procedural language and translates it into Java bytecode. To do this, we first translate into an assembler code called Jasmin [7] that is a human-readable representation of Java bytecode. Then the Jasmin assembler converts it into real Java bytecode. The system is not a compiler because it does not start at the source level. We believe this kind of translator is even more useful than a compiler because most of the executable code that is available for sharing does not come with source programs. Of course, it works only if the format of the executable binary code is known. This translation process consists of three major stages: (1) analysis stage that identifies the language constructs in the given binary code, (2) initialization stage where variables and objects are located, classified, and initialized, and (3) mapping stage that maps the given binary code into a Jasmin assembler code that is then converted to Java bytecode.
