The Semantic Gap

Systems Security Research Dossier // 2026

Research Statement

Modern security fails because of the Semantic Gap: The compiler knows what the program should do, but the kernel only sees what the program is doing.

My research bridges this gap by embedding Compile-Time Intent into Runtime Enforcement using eBPF and Cryptographic Binding.

The “Trinity” Architecture

My work focuses on three distinct enforcement boundaries:

1. Build Time: Sentinel-CC (Static Intent)
2. Runtime Host: Sentinel Runtime (Process Lineage)
3. Network Edge: Hyperion XDP (Wire-Speed Containment)
