The Serrano Project Final Report: Non-Invasively Retrofitting Legacy Applications to Withstand Intrusions

Abstract

The Serrano project's goals were to develop new techniques for making secure and reliable distributed systems. There was a special focus on legacy environments and exploiting modern, object oriented techniques to incorporate them in distributed applications based on secure, reliable middleware. The final results arose in five general areas: the implication of reliable multicast on further transmitting system infection, making safe progress in a distributed application despite the presence of network partitions, mechanism for making systems intrusion tolerant, efficient epidemiological update protocols, and software engineering approaches for automating the design of fault-tolerant distributed applications.
