Low-level system software support for information security

在我们这个高度依赖技术的社会，计算机安全至关重要。许多人依靠计算机系统进行业务、与朋友和家人交流以及管理个人信息。不幸的是，我们目前的计算系统的安全性和安全性不足以满足人们对它们的信任。拟议的研究旨在通过保护计算机系统运行的基础来提高计算机系统的安全性，该基础由操作系统等低级系统软件及其下面的软件层组成。保护这些低级别软件不仅可以确保我们的计算基础设施的安全，还可以保持应用程序和服务器等较高级别软件的完好无损，从而降低采用成本。

Computer security is of paramount importance in our highly technology-reliant society. Many people rely on computer systems to conduct business, communicate with friends and family, and manage their personal information. Unfortunately, the safety and security of our current computing systems is not adequate for amount of trust people place in them. The proposed research aims to improve the security of our computer systems by securing the foundation upon which they run, which is composed of low-level systems software such as the operating system and the software layers below it. Securing this low-level software will not only make our computing infrastructure secure, but will reduce the cost of adoption by leaving higher-level software such as applications and servers intact.
