Additional information
<19>Wedge appeared in NSDI, ranked 7th out of 1578 computer science publication venues (ArnetMiner). The work significantly hardened the widely used OpenSSH and Apache applications, reducing by multiple orders of magnitude the number of lines of code where vulnerabilities can cause disclosures of sensitive information. Wedge has been influential among leaders of the systems security research community: David Wagner of UC Berkeley, Nickolai Zeldovich of MIT, and Emmett Witchel of UT Austin assigned the paper in their graduate classes, and the Secure Computer Systems group at Stanford has built a follow-on version of Wedge. Wedge is available as open-source software.
