Class Notes Unsafe Language Defined as languages, such as C, that are susceptible to buffer overflow attacks. Safe languages are not susceptible because they have really strong compilers.

Secure systems are not susceptible to overflow attacks because the reference monitor is small enough to verify and remove any bugs. The reference monitor is also resilient due to the fact that it is outside the domain of process execution.
