      <title>Fine: A Type-Preserving Compiler for End-to-End Security Verification</title>
      <description>The Fine compiler implements a type system that enables the enforcement of rich, stateful authorization and information-flow policies to be verified. Our compilation technique produces verifiable target code in a language called DCIL, an extension of CIL, the language of the .NET runtime. Code consumers can check DCIL target programs using a syntactic byte-code verifier to establish the security of the code.</description>

      <title>Azure Library for Lucene.Net</title>
      <description>Lucene works on top of an abstract store object called Directory. There are several Directory objects, including FSDirectory, for file systems, and RAMDirectory, for in-memory store. Azure Library for Lucene.Net implements a smart blob-storage Directory object called AzureDirectory which enables the use of Lucene.NET on top of Azure Blob Storage. AzureDirectory automatically creates a local cache of blobs and intelligently auto-uploads them on the fly.</description>
