• Abstract: With the advent of modern embedded systems, logging as a process is becoming more and more prevalent for diagnostic and analytic services. Traditionally, storage and managing of the logged data are generally kept as a part of one entity together with the main logic components. In systems that implement network connections, this activity is usually handled over a remote device. However, enabling remote connection is still considered a limiting factor for many embedded devices due to the demanding production cost. A significant challenge is presented to vendors who need to decide how the data will be extracted and handled for an embedded platform during the design concept phase. It is generally desirable that logging memory modules are able to be addressed as separate units. These devices need to be appropriately secured and verifiable on a different system since data compromise can lead to enormous privacy and even financial losses. In this paper, we present two patterns. First, a pattern that allows flexible logging operation design in terms of module and interface responsibility separation. Second, a pattern for the design of secure logging processes during the utilization of constrained embedded devices. The introduced patterns fulfil the following conditions: (i) flexibility, design is independent of the chip vendors making the logging memory modules easily replaceable, (ii) self-sufficiency, every logging controller is maintained as a separate entity in a decentralized topology, (iii) security, through providing authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity by means of using a dedicated security module.

  Event-driven architecture (EDA) has emerged as a crucial architectural pattern for scalable cloud applications. We propose vMODB, a distributed framework that enables the implementation of highly consistent and scalable cloud applications. Our experiments show that vMODB outperforms a widely adopted state-of-the-art competing framework that only offers eventual consistency by up to 3X.

  Confidential computing enables the protection of confidential code and data in a co-tenanted cloud deployment using specialized hardware isolation units called Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) TEEs offer low-level C/C++-based toolchains that are susceptible to inherent memory safety vulnerabilities and lack language constructs to monitor explicit and implicit information-flow leaks. We address the above with HasTEE+, a domain-specific language (cla) embedded in Haskell that enables programming TEEs in a high-level language with strong type-safety.

  Internet of Things (IoT) devices often collect confidential information, such as audio and visual data, through peripheral inputs like microphones and cameras. We propose a generic design to enhance the privacy in IoT-based systems by isolating peripheral I/O memory regions in a secure kernel space of a trusted execution environment (TEE) The sensitive peripheral data is then securely transferred to a user-space TEE, where obfuscation mechanisms can be applied before it is relayed to third parties, e.g., the cloud.
