Research Foundation

Nectry's technology is built on cutting-edge research from MIT in programming languages, formal methods, and security.

The Research That Powers Nectry

  • Security policies are mathematically verified before deployment, ensuring enterprise-grade guarantees [4]
  • Unified programming model across client, server, and database enables whole-program optimization [3]
  • Optimizing compiler technology produces efficient code from high-level specifications [2]
  • Powerful type system to understand meta-programming to guarantee generated programs have no invalid code [1]
  • Access control is enforced at the database level with zero runtime overhead [4]
  • Information flow is tracked to prevent data leaks [4]

Publications

Ur: Statically-Typed Metaprogramming with Type-Level Record Computation

Adam Chlipala — PLDI'10

Presents Ur, a language that uses functional programs as specifications to safely support metaprogramming and demonstrates this through Ur/Web, a web development framework that ensures type-safe code generation without requiring explicit proofs or complex types.

An Optimizing Compiler for a Purely Functional Web-Application Language

Adam Chlipala — ICFP'15

Describes a compiler that transforms high-level functional programs into efficient code, proving that purely functional languages can match imperative languages in performance for real-world web applications.

Static Checking of Dynamically-Varying Security Policies in Database-Backed Applications

Adam Chlipala — OSDI'10

Demonstrates how to statically verify security policies that vary based on database contents, using symbolic evaluation and automated theorem-proving to guarantee security properties without runtime overhead.
