Former developers:
------------------
Developers that worked on either fastBT, secuBT, or trustBT:
fastBT and secuBT were merged into trustBT. libdetox is a reimplementation of
the successful optimization concepts and security concepts of trustBT. The 
authors below helped with the implementation of the optimizations and security
concepts of the proof of concept implementation.

Antonio Barresi <abarresi@student.ethz.ch>
- Worked hard on the security extensions during his master thesis in 2009
- Implemented trust component on top of BT and patched some security extensions
- Implemented the first version of the shadow jumptable optimization

Marcel Wirth <mawirth@student.ethz.ch>
- Worked hard on the BT during his semester thesis in 2007 and his master
  thesis in 2009
- Worked on the first version of the BT without optimization during his
  semester thesis
- Continued his work and added security extensions during his master thesis
- Fixed lots and lots of bugs
- Worked on some former optimizations

Peter Suter <suterpet@student.ethz.ch>
- Used the BT for the GCC STM extension during his master thesis in 2008
- Worked on the integration of the STM component and the BT into a modern
  optimizing compiler

Stephan Classen <scl@soft-eng.ch>
- Worked on the BT during his master thesis in 2007
- Used fastBT to implement a STM library
- Tested early versions of fastBT and fixed lots of bugs
- Authored the tableGenerator to generate STM tables that redirect all
  memory accessing instructions to an STM.
