An intern’s experience with Rust

Over the course of my internship at the Microsoft Security Response Center MSRC, I worked on the safe systems programming languages SSPL team to promote safer languages for systems programming where runtime overhead is important, as outlined in this blog. My job was to port a security critical...

Designing a COM library for Rust

I interned with Microsoft as a Software Engineering Intern in the MSRC UK team in Cheltenham this past summer. I worked in the Safe Systems Programming Language SSPL group, which explores safe programming languages as a proactive measure against memory-safety related vulnerabilities. This blog po...

Why Rust for safe systems programming

In this series, we have explored the need for proactive measures to eliminate a class of vulnerabilities and walked through some examples of memory safety issues we’ve found in Microsoft code that could have been avoided with a different language. Now we’ll peek at why we think that Rust represen...

We need a safer systems programming language

In our first post in this series, we discussed the need for proactively addressing memory safety issues. Tools and guidance are demonstrably not preventing this class of vulnerabilities; memory safety issues have represented almost the same proportion of vulnerabilities assigned a CVE for over a...
