This paper proposes a formal framework aimed at specifying and verifying computer systems security behavior. In this approach, systems and their interactions are modeled through processes with a new dedicated calculus inspired from the ambient calculus. We demonstrate how, given a network security policy implementation, our dedicated calculus allows to verify that the specification offers or not sufficient protection from a malicious intruder.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
