SPARCHS: Symbiotic, Polymorphic, Automatic, Resilient, Clean-Slate, Host Security

Abstract

The SPARCHS project proposed a new computer systems design methodology that considers defensive security as a first-order design requirement at all levels in computer systems stack. A defensive mindset to system design means that each component, be it hardware, software or the security mechanism, should be designed assuming that it can be compromised, each component must individually have the ability to detect attacks, limit losses, recover from attacks and learn to prevent future attacks.
