Systems security deals with security and privacy aspects in commodity, and sometimes not so commodity, computing systems. Among other topics, we have published research on network-based embedded systems firmware, embedded systems architectures (e.g., ARM), architecture-level malware detection, and architectural enhancements to promote security.
