Abstract:Component-based software engineering often relies on libraries of trusted components that are combined to build dependable and secure software systems. Resource dependences, constraint conflicts, and information flow interferences arising from component combination that may violate security requirements can be revealed by means of the noninterference approach to information flow analysis. However, the security of large component-based systems may be hard to assess in an efficient and systematic way. In this pa… Show more
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.
