Unambiguous Encapsulation - Separating Data and Signaling

Presented at ShmooCon X (2014), Jan. 18, 2014, 11 a.m. (60 minutes)

Attacks against in band signaling systems have been demonstrated against Zigbee and Ethernet in the past few years. In many ways these are similar to memory corruption attacks as both rely on data being interpreted as meta-data by the target system. We have built tools to generate sets of error correcting codes that can be used to prevent untrusted user supplied data from being interpreted as meta-data by target systems.
