Columbia Engineering team builds first hacker-resistant cloud software system
Columbia Engineering researchers have developed SeKVM, the first system that guarantees--through a mathematical proof--the security of virtual machines in the cloud. ''This is the first time that a real-world multiprocessor software system has been shown to be mathematically correct and secure,'' said Computer Science Professor Jason Nieh. ''This means that users' data are correctly managed by software running in the cloud and are safe from security bugs and hackers.''
