the enabler of a new generation of e-healthcare
applications, but the provision of a security architecture

solutions to this problem (mostly built on static RBAC
models) are application-dependent and do not address the
intricate security requirements of healthcare applications.
The healthcare industry requires flexible, on-demand
authentication, extensible context-aware access control,
and dynamic authorization enforcement. With on-demand
authentication, users are authenticated according to their
task-specific situations. Extensible context-aware access
control enables administrators to specify more precise and
fine-grain authorization polices for any application.
Dynamic authorization enforcement makes authorization
decisions based upon runtime parameters rather than simply
the role of the user. In this paper we describe a dynamic,
context-aware security infrastructure that can fulfill the
security requirements of healthcare applications and that
can also be easily adapted to offer security support for
similar enterprise applications.},

fixing one particular modeling language for this process,
we propose a general schema for constructing such languages
that combines languages for modeling systems with languages
for modeling security. We present several instances of this
schema thatcombine (both syntactically and semantically)
different UML modeling languages with a security modeling language for formalizing access control requirements. From
models in the combined languages, we automatically generate
access control infrastructures for server-based
applications, built from declarative and programmatic
access control mechanisms. The modeling languages and
generation process are semantically well-founded and are
based on an extension of Role-Based Access Control. We have
implemented this approach ina UML-based CASE-tool and report on experiments.},

inflexible is that they lack support for delegation. This
paper shows how delegation can be introduced in a workflow
system by extending the role-based access control (RBAC)
model. The current RBAC model is a security mechanism to
implement access control in organizations by allowing users
to be assigned to roles and privileges to be associated
with the roles. Thus, users can perform tasks based on the
privileges possessed by their own role or roles they
inherit by virtue of their organizational position.
However, there is no easy way to handle delegations within
this model. This paper tries to treat the issues
surrounding delegation in workflow systems in a
comprehensive way. We show how delegations can be
incorporated into the RBAC model in a simple and
straightforward manner. The new extended model is called
RBAC with delegation in a workflow context (DW-RBAC). It
allows for delegations to be specified from a user to
another user, and later revoked when the delegation is no
longer required. The implications of such specifications
and their subsequent revocations are examined. Several
formal definitions for assertion, acceptance, execution and
revocation are provided, and proofs are given for the
important properties of our delegation framework.},

traditional class-based object-oriented language (Java) and
analyze 25 Java programs (ranging from 4 to 6275 classes)
with the Relationship Detector for Java (RelDJ) to identify
occurrences of these patterns. The empirical results show
that object collaborations are indeed a frequent phenomenon
and reveal that collaborationrelated code does not remain
encapsulated in a single class. These observations strongly
support efforts to define language constructs to express
object relationships: relationships allow the encapsulation
of a frequently occurring phenomenon and increase program
expressiveness. }, keywords = {Relationship-based Programming Languages, First-class

programs in higher-order logic. Early examples involve
lists and the natural numbers. Most proofs are two steps
long, consisting of induction on a chosen variable followed
by the auto tactic. But even this elementary part covers
such advanced topics as nested and mutual recursion. 2.
Logic and Sets presents a collection of lower-level tactics
that you can use to apply rules selectively. It also
describes Isabelle/\acs{hol}'s treatment of sets, functions
and relations and explains how to define sets inductively.
One of the examples concerns the theory of model checking,
and another is drawn from a classic textbook on formal
languages. 3. Advanced Material describes a variety of
other topics. Among these are the real numbers, records and
overloading. Advanced techniques are described involving
induction and recursion. A whole chapter is devoted to an
extended example: the verification of a security protocol. }, year = 2002,

often the case that a model of a system is built in a
formal logic and then reasoning about this model is carried
out in the logic. Concern is growing on how to consistently
interface a model built in a formal logic with an informal
CAD environment. Researchers have been investigating how to
define the formal semantics of hardware description
languages so that one can formally reason about models
informally dealt with in a CAD environment. At the
University of Cambridge, the embedding of hardware
description languages in a logic is classified in two
categories: deep embedding and shallow embedding. In this
paper we argue that there are degrees of formality in
shallow embedding a language in a logic. The choice of the
degree of formality is a trade-off between the security of
the embedding and the amount and complexity of the proof
effort in the logic. We also argue that the design of a language could consider this verifiability issue. There are
choices in the design of a language that can make it easier
to improve the degree of formality, without implying
serious drawbacks for the CAD environment.}, volume = 780, year = 1994,

reasoning about the correctness of object-oriented

consistency conditions on which a program may depend. The
data in object-oriented programs consists not just of
object fields, but also of static fields, which hold data
that is shared among objects. The consistency of static
fields is described by static class invariants, which are
enforced at the class level. Static class invariants can
also mention instance fields, describing the consistency of
dynamic data structures rooted in static fields. Sometimes
there are even consistency conditions that relate the
instance fields of many or all objects of a class; static
class invariants describe these relations, too, since they
cannot be enforced by any one object in isolation. This
paper presents a systematic way (a methodology) for
specifying and verifying static class invariants in
object-oriented programs. The methodology supports the
three major uses of static fields and invariants in the
Java library. The methodology is amenable to static,

format of our OCL semantics has natural advantages with
respect to understandability compared to existing
formalizations of OCL's semantics. Our semantics can also
be seen as a reference implementation of an OCL evaluator,
because the transformation rules can be executed by any QVT
compliant transformation engine.}

a class to an extended class by adding or overriding fields
and methods. Programming with mixins is similar to
programming with single inheritance classes, but mixins
more directly encourage programming to interfaces. The
paper develops these ideas within the context of Java. The
results are an intuitive model of an essential Java subset;
an extension that explains and models mixins; and type
soundness theorems for these languages.}

features in Java, as well as the specific combination of
features, justifies a study of the Java formal semantics.
The use of interfaces, reminiscent of [6,10] is a
simplification of the signatures extension for C++ [4] and
is - to the best of our knowledge - novel. The mechanism
for dynamic method binding is that of C++, but we know of
no formal definition. Java adopts the Smalltalk [15]
approach whereby all object variables are implicitly
pointers.
Furthermore, although there are a large number of studies
of the semantics of isolated programming language features
or of minimal programming languages [1,31,34] there have
not been many studies of the formal semantics of actual
programming languages. In addition, the interplay of
features which are very well understood in isolation, might
introduce unexpected effects. }

validation of \acs{uml} models and OCL constraints. We
focus on models and constraints specified in the analysis
and early design stage of a software development process.
For this purpose, a suitable subset of \acs{uml}
corresponding to information that is usually represented in
class diagrams is identified and formally defined. This
basic modeling language provides a context for all OCL
constraints. We define a formal syntax and semantics of OCL
types, operations, expressions, invariants, and
pre-/postconditions. We also give solutions for problems
with the current OCL definition and discuss possible
extensions. A metamodel for OCL is introduced that defines
the abstract syntax of OCL expressions and the structure of
types and values. The metamodel approach allows a seamless
integration with the \acs{uml} metamodeling architecture
and makes the benefits of a precise OCL definition easier
accessible. The OCL metamodel also allows to define
context-sensitive conditions for well-formed OCL
expressions more precisely. These conditions can now be
specified with OCL whereas they previously were specified
only informally. In order to demonstrate the practical
applicability of our work, we have realized substantial
parts of it in a tool supporting the validation of models
and constraints. Design specifications can be ``executed''
and animated thus providing early feedback in an iterative
development process. Our approach offers novel ways for
checking user data against specifications, for automating
test procedures, and for checking CASE tools for standards
conformance. Therefore, this work contributes to the goal
of improving the overall quality of software systems by
combining theoretical and practical techniques.},

sublanguage of sequential Java, covering nearly all
features, in particular the object-oriented ones. It shows
that embedding such a language in a theorem prover and
deducing practically important properties is meanwhile
possible and explains in detail how this can be achieved.
We formalize the abstract syntax, and the static semantics
including the type system and well-formedness conditions,
as well as an operational (evaluation) semantics of the language. Based on these definitions, we can express
soundness of the type system, an important design goal
claimed to be reached by the designers of Java, and prove
that type safety holds indeed. Moreover, we give an
axiomatic semantics of partial correctness for both
statements and (side-effecting) expressions. We prove the
soundness of this semantics relative to the operational
semantics, and even prove completeness. We further give a
small but instructive application example. A direct outcome
of this work is the confirmation that the design and
specification of Java (or at least the subset considered)
is reasonable, yet some omissions in the language
specification and possibilities for generalizing the design
can be pointed out. The second main contribution is a sound
and complete Hoare logic, where the soundness proof for our
Hoare logic gives new insights into the role of type
safety. To our knowledge, this logic is the first one for
an object-oriented language that has been proved complete.
By-products of this work are a new general technique for
handling side-effecting expressions and their results, the
discovery of the strongest possible rule of consequence,
and a new rule for flexible handling of mutual recursion.
All definitions and proofs have been done fully formally
with the interactive theorem prover Isabelle/HOL,
representing one of its major applications. This approach
guarantees not only rigorous definitions, but also gives
maximal confidence in the results obtained. Thus this
thesis demonstrates that machine-checking the design of an
important non-trivial programming language and conducting
meta-theory on it entirely within a theorem proving system
has become a reality. },

acknowledgement={brucker, 2007-04-23}, abstract = {The purpose of this thesis is to create a verification
environment for sequential imperative programs. First a
general language model is proposed, which is independent of
a concrete programming language but expressive enough to
cover all common language features: mutually recursive
procedures, abrupt termination and exceptions, runtime
faults, local and global variables, pointers and heap,
expressions with side effects, pointers to procedures,
partial application and closures, dynamic method invocation
and also unbounded nondeterminism.
For this language a Hoare logic for both partial and total
correctness is developed and on top of it a verification
condition generator is implemented. The Hoare logic is
designed to allow the integration of program analysis or
software model checking into the verification.
To demonstrate the continuity to a real programming language a subset of C is embedded into the verification
environment.
The whole work is developed in the theorem prover Isabelle.
Therefore the correctness is machine-checked and in
addition the rich infrastructure of the general purpose
theorem prover Isabelle can be employed for the
verification of imperative programs.

translation of class diagrams, state machines, and

abstraction. To reduce the complexity of the model and to
increase the structure of the specification, compositional
reasoning is used. The introduction of history variables
allows compositional specifications. Proof rules support
compositional reasoning. The feasibility of the presented
approach is demonstrated by two case-studies. The first one

``strictly positive,'' the approach lets definitions
involve any operators that have been proved monotone. It is
conceptually simple, which has allowed the easy
implementation of mutual recursion and iterated
definitions. It also handles coinductive definitions:
simply replace the least fixedpoint by a greatest
fixedpoint. The method has been implemented in two of
Isabelle's logics, zf set theory and higher-order logic. It
should be applicable to any logic in which the
Knaster-Tarski theorem can be proved. Examples include
lists of n elements, the accessible part of a relation and
the set of primitive recursive functions. One example of a
coinductive definition is bisimulations for lazy lists.
Recursive datatypes are examined in detail, as well as one
example of a codatatype: lazy lists. The Isabelle package
has been applied in several large case studies, including
two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem and a coinductive
proof of semantic consistency. The package can be trusted
because it proves theorems from definitions, instead of
asserting desired properties as axioms. },

other end, it embodies a lightweight formal method in which
subtle properties of behaviour can be investigated. Alcoa's inputlanguage, Alloy, is a new notation based on Z. Its
development was motivated by the need for a notation that
is more closely tailored to object models (in the style of \acs{uml}), and more amenable to automatic analysis. Like
Z, Alloy supports the description of systems whose state
involves complex relational structure. State and
behavioural properties are described declaratively, by
conjoining constraints. This makes it possible to develop
and analyze a model incrementally, with Alcoa investigating
the consequences of whatever constraints are given. Alcoa
works by translating constraints to boolean formulas, and
then applying state-of-the-art SAT solvers. It can analyze
billions of states in seconds. }, author = {Daniel Jackson and Ian Schechter and Ilya Shlyakhter }, booktitle = {International Conference on Software Engineering

traditional RBAC roles: they abstract the security-relevant
characteristics of subjects into categories that can be
used in defining a security policy. Similarly, object roles abstract the various properties of objects, such as object
type (e.g., text, JPEG, executable) or sensitivity level
(e.g., classified, top secret) into categories. Environment
roles capture environmental information, such as time of
day or system load so it can be used to mediate access
control. Together, these three types of roles offer
flexibility and expressive power, as well as a degree of
usability not found in current access control models},

the applied RBAC covers time constraints, hierarchies and
multi-level authorization rules for coping with the
multi-actor nature and the complexity of the application
domain. The DRIVE RBAC model clearly distinguishes between
static role assignment to users and dynamic allocation of

There still exists an open question on how formal models
can be fully realized in the system development phase. The
Model Driven Development (MDD) approach has been recently
introduced to deal with such a critical issue for building
high assurance software systems.
The MDD approach focuses on the transformation of
high-level design models to system implementation modules.
However, this emerging development approach lacks an
adequate procedure to address security issues derived from
formal security models. In this paper, we propose an
empirical framework to integrate security model
representation, security policy specification, and
systematic validation of security model and policy, which
would be eventually used for accommodating security
concerns during the system development. We also describe
how our framework can minimize the gap between security
models and the development of secure systems. In addition,
we overview a proof-of-concept prototype of our tool that
facilitates existing software engineering mechanisms to
achieve the above-mentioned features of our framework.},

Isabelle/Isarunderlying recent versions of Isabelle. Among
other things, Isar provides an infrastructure for Isabelle
plug-ins, comprising extensible state components and
extensible syntax that can be bound to tactical ML
programs. Thus the Isabelle/Isar architecture may be
understood as an extension and refinement of the
traditional LCF approach, with explicit infrastructure for
building derivative systems. To demonstrate the technical
potential of the framework, we apply it to a concrete
formalmethods tool: the HOL-Z 3.0 environment, which is
geared towards the analysis of Z specifications and formal
proof of forward-refinements.}, author = {Makarius Wenzel and Burkhart Wolff}, booktitle = {\acs{tphols} 2007}, editor = {Klaus Schneider and Jens Brandt}, language = {USenglish},

versions of Java: reduced languages in which complex
features like threads and reflection are dropped to enable
rigorous arguments about key properties such as type
safety. We carry this process a step further, omitting
almost all features of the full language (including
interfaces and even assignment) to obtain a small calculus,
Featherweight Java, for which rigorous proofs are not only
possible but easy. Featherweight Java bears a similar
relation to Java as the lambda-calculus does to languages
such as ML and Haskell. It offers a similar computational "feel," providing classes, methods, fields, inheritance,
and dynamic typecasts with a semantics closely following
Java's. A proof of type safety for Featherweight Java thus
illustrates many of the interesting features of a safety
proof for the full language, while remaining pleasingly
compact. The minimal syntax, typing rules, and operational
semantics of Featherweight Java make it a handy tool for
studying the consequences of extensions and variations. As
an illustration of its utility in this regard, we extend
Featherweight Java with generic classes in the style of GJ
(Bracha, Odersky, Stoutamire, and Wadler) and give a
detailed proof of type safety. The extended system
formalizes for the first time some of the key features of
GJ. },

developments with machine-checked proofs accessible to a
broader audience. Our particular approach is centered
around the Isar formal proof language that is intended to
support adequate composition of proof documents that are
suitable for human consumption. Such primary proofs written
in Isar may be both checked by the machine and read by
human-beings; final presentation merely involves trivial
pretty printing of the sources. Sound logical foundations
of Isar are achieved by interpretation within the generic
Natural Deduction framework of Isabelle, reducing all
high-level reasoning steps to primitive inferences.
The resulting Isabelle/Isar system is generic with respect
to object-logics and proof tools, just as pure Isabelle
itself. The full Isar language emerges from a small core by
means of several derived elements, which may be combined
freely with existing ones. This results in a very rich
space of expressions of formal reasoning, supporting many
viable proof techniques. The general paradigms of Natural
Deduction and Calculational Reasoning are both covered
particularly well. Concrete examples from logic,
mathematics, and computer-science demonstrate that the Isar
concepts are indeed sufficiently versatile to cover a broad
range of applications.}, address = {M{\"u}nchen}, month = feb,

sim- ple machine models such as Labelled Transition Systems
(LTSs), in which data is represented by concrete values. To
implement these theories, data types which have infinite
universes have to be cut down to infinite vari- ants, which
are subsequently enumerated to fit in the model. This leads
to an explosion of the state space. Moreover, exploiting
the syntactical and/or semantical information of the
involved data types is non-trivial after enumeration. To
overcome these problems, we lift the family of test- ing
relations iocoF to the level of Symbolic Transition Systems
(STSs). We present an algorithm based on STSs, which
generates and executes tests on-the-fly on a given system.
It is sound and complete for the ioco F testing
relations.},

sometimes the static nature of authorisation can cause

impor- tant.
This paper presents an optimistic access control scheme
where en- forcement of rules is retrospective. The system
administrator is re- lied on to ensure that the system is
not misused, and compensating transactions are used to
ensure that the system integrity can be re- covered in the
case of a breach. It is argued that providing an opti-
mistic scheme alongside a traditional access control
mechanism can provide a useful means for users to exceed
their normal privileges on the rare occasion that the
situation warrants it.
The idea of a partially-formed transaction is introduced to
show how accesses in an optimistic system might be
constrained. This model is formally described and related
to the Clark-Wilson in- tegrity model.}

models for rolebased acce ss control (RBAC) in which
permissions are associated with roles, and users are made
members of appropriate roles. This greatly simplifies
management of permiss ions. Roles are closely related to
the concept of user groups in access control. However, a
role brings together a set of users on one side and a set
of permiss ions on the other, whereas user groups are
typically defined as a set of users o nly.
The basic concepts of RBAC originated with early multi-user
computer systems. Th e resurgence of interest in RBAC has
been driven by the need for general-purpose customizable
facilities for RBAC and the need to manage the
administration of R BAC itself. As a consequence RBAC
facilities range from simple to complex. This article
describes a novel framework of reference models to
systematically addres s the diverse components of RBAC, and
their interactions.},

UML-based language for constructing security-design models,
which are models that combine design specifications for
distributed systems with specifications of their security

such models in a semantically precise and meaningful way.
In our approach, models are formalized together with
scenarios that represent possible run-time instances.
Queries about properties of the security policy modeled are
expressed as formulas in UML's Object Constraint Language.
The policy may include both declarative aspects, i.e.,
static access-control information such as the assignment of
users and permissions to roles, and programmatic aspects,
which depend on dynamic information, namely the
satisfaction of authorization constraints in a given
scenario. We show how such properties can be evaluated,
completely automatically, in the context of the metamodel
of the security-design language. We demonstrate, through
examples, that this approach can be used to formalize and
check non-trivial security properties. The approach has
been implemented in the SecureMOVA tool and all of the
examples presented have been checked using this tool.},

strategies. Authorisation policies are translated into
labelled rules in CLP and prioritised. The prioritisation
is regulated by simple override rules specified or selected

approach by expressing the conflict resolution strategy for
a moderately complex authorisation model that organises
subjects and objects hierarchically.}

was a mere adjunct and free to the mainframe buyer.
Decreasing hardware costs then led to software "unbundling."In the present era of information technology,
hardware's ever-decreasing costs make it an enabler of
software functions. In the business technology (BT) era, we
predict that managing the third part of the equation --
people -- will emerge as the dominant focus. As software
applications become business services, the cost of human
resources producing, operating, and managing software will
soon be prohibitive and the new focal point. In this

title = {A Theory of Object Oriented Refinement},
school = {University of Toronto},
abstract = {This thesis introduces a formal theory of object oriented
refinement. The formal design of the theoryis based on the
design principles of unification and decoupling, which we
believe have not been adequately used in other object
oriented refinement theories.
Thanks to the use of these principles, the semantics of the theoryis mathematically simpler than other approaches: the
formalization of most features uses very primitive
mathematical entities. Furthermore, the constructs of the theory are more general than other approaches. There are specification constructs more general than classes.
Features that are typically coupled withclasses, like
reuse and polymorphism, now applyto these more general
specifications. Finally, our solution to the frame problem is the only modular approach that we know of that does not
impose any aliasing control policy.
To demonstrate that the extra generality offers real
advantages to the specifier, we use the theoryin some specification examples that would be impossible with other
approaches. These examples, mainly inspired by Design
Patterns, represent realistic and common software design
situations.},

particularly security-critical. In order to make these
applications secure, the security analysis has to be an
integral part of the system design and IT management
process for such systems. METHODS: This work presents the
experiences and results from the security analysis of the
system architecture of the German Health Card, by making use of an approach to model-based security engineering that is based on the UML extension UMLsec. The focus lies on the
security mechanisms and security policies of the
smart-card-based architecture which were analyzed using the
UMLsec methodand tools. RESULTS: Main results of the paper
include a report on the employment of the UMLsec methodin
an industrial health information systems context as well as
indications of its benefits and limitations. In particular,
two potential security weaknesses were detected and
countermeasures discussed. CONCLUSIONS: The results
indicate that it can be feasible toapply a model-based
security analysis using UMLsec to an industrial health
information system like the German Health Card
architecture, and that doing so can have concrete benefits
(such as discovering potential weaknesses, and an increased
confidence that no further vulnerabilities of the kind that
were considered are present).},

This paper addresses the problem using testability
transformation. Testability transformation does not
preserve the traditional meaning of the program, rather it
deals with preserving test-adequate sets of input data.
This requires new equivalence relations which, in turn,
entail novel proof obligations. The paper illustrates this using the branch coverage adequacy criterion and develops a
branch adequacy equivalence relation and a testability
transformation for restructuring. It then presents a proof
that the transformation preserves branch adequacy.}

information management architecture based on emerging
attribute-based encryption (ABE) primitives. A policy
system that meets the needs of complex policies is defined and illustrated. Based on the needs of those policies, we
propose cryptographic optimizations that vastly improve
enforcement efficiency. We further explore the use of such
policies in two example applications: a HIPAA compliant
distributed file system and a social network. A performance
analysis of our ABE system and example applications
demonstrates the ability to reduce cryptographic costs by
as much as 98\% over previously proposed constructions.
Through this, we demonstrate that our attribute system is
an efficient solution for securely managing information in
large, loosely-coupled, distributed systems.}

Modelling the access capabilities of different communities

(Role-Based Access Control) paradigm provides flexible and
powerful constructs. In this paper we describe how we used
an RBAC model-based approach to specify at different levels
of abstraction the access policy of a specific WEMIS called
ARCE (Aplicaci{\`o}n en Red para Casos de Emergencia). This
approach made possible to face access modelling at earlier
development stages, so that stakeholders got involved in
analytical and empirical evaluations to test the
correctness and completeness of the access policy. Moreover, since the RBAC meta-model is embedded into a web
engineering method, we put in practice a holistic process
addressing different design perspectives in an integrated
way. }

QVT. Consequently approaches for MDE (Model-Driven

only in these areas influenced by the OMG but alsoin the
Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF). Thus the quality of OCL and its realization in tools seems to be crucial for the
success of model-driven development. Surprisingly, up to
now a benchmark for OCL to measure quality properties has
not been proposed. This paper puts forward in the first
part the concepts of a comprehensive OCL benchmark. Our
benchmark covers (A) OCL engine accuracy (e.g., for the
undefined valueand the use of variables), (B) OCL engine
determinateness properties (e.g., for the collection
operations any and flatten), and (C) OCL engine efficiency
(for data type and user-defined operations). In the second
part, this paper empirically evaluates the proposed
benchmark concepts by examining a number of OCL tools. The
paper discusses several differences in handling particular
OCL language features and underspecifications in the OCL
standard.}

hypothesized that in Java code, the majority of
declarations that are of reference types are meant to be

like most interface specificationand object-oriented
programming languages, assumes that such declarations are
possibly-null by default. As a consequence, developers need to write specifications that are more verbose than
necessary in order to accurately document their module
interfaces. In practice, this results in module interfaces
being left incompletely and inaccurately specified. In this
paper we present the results of a study that confirms our
hypothesis. Hence, we propose an adaptation to JML that
preserves its language design goals and that allows
developers to specify that declarations of reference types
are to be interpreted as non-null by default. We explain
how this default is safer and results in less writing on
the part of specifiers than null-by-default. The paper also
reports on an implementation of the proposal in some of the
JML tools.}

appropriate mechanisms to effectively support

requirements for mobile online health networks, this paper
discusses the potential use of Attribute Certificates (ACs) in an anticipated trust model. Typical trust interactions
among doctors, patients and e-health providers are
presented, indicating that resourceful security mechanisms and trust control can be obtained and implemented. The
application of attribute certificates to support medical

can be applied to enable encryption using biometric inputs
as identities; the error-tolerance property of a Fuzzy IBE
scheme is precisely what allows for the use of biometric
identities, which inherently will have some noise each time
they are sampled. Additionally, we show that Fuzzy-IBE can
be used for a type of application that we term
ldquoattribute-based encryptionrdquo. In this paper we
present two constructions of Fuzzy IBE schemes. Our
constructions can be viewed as an Identity-Based Encryption

basic construction does not use random oracles. We prove

improving the state-of-the-art of anonymous CP-ABE to obtain shorter public parameters and ciphertext length. In

be achieved in black-box model by embedding additional

secure the transmitted data. ASPE is flexible in that it
can dynamically change encryption keys depending on the

incorporates data access control policies on the
transmitted data. ASPE provides an integrated solution to
involve data access control, key management, security

increasing disk rotation speeds, incorporating more
intelligent disk scheduling algorithms, increasing I/O bus
speed, using solid-state disks, and implementing caches at
various places in the I/O stream. In this article, we
examine the use of caching as a means to increase system
response time and improve the data throughput of the disk
subsystem. Caching can helpto alleviate I/O subsystem
bottlenecks caused by mechanical latencies. This article
describes a caching strategy that offers the performance of
caches twice its size. After explaining some basic caching
issues, we examine some popular caching strategies and
cache replacement algorithms, as well as the advantages and
disadvantages of caching at different levels of the
computer system hierarchy. Finally, we investigate the
performance of three cache replacement algorithms: random
replacement (RR), least recently used (LRU), and a
frequency-based variation of LRU known as segmented LRU
(SLRU). }

abstract = {Distributed sensor data storage and retrieval has gained
increasing popularity in recent years for supporting
various applications. While distributed architecture enjoys
a more robust and fault-tolerant wireless sensor network
(WSN), such architecture also poses a number of security
challenges especially when applied in mission-critical
applications such as battle field and e-healthcare. First,
as sensor data are stored and maintained by individual
sensors and unattended sensors are easily subject to strong
attacks such as physical compromise, it is significantly
harder to ensure data security. Second, in many
mission-critical applications, fine-grained data access
control is a must as illegal access to the sensitive data
may cause disastrous result and/or prohibited by the law.
Last but not least, sensors usually are resource-scarce,
which limits the direct adoption of expensive cryptographic
primitives. To address the above challenges, we propose in
this paper a distributed data access control scheme that is
able to fulfill fine-grained access control over sensor
data andis resilient against strong attacks such as sensor
compromise and user colluding. The proposed scheme exploits
a novel cryptographic primitive called attribute-based
encryption (ABE), tailors, and adapts it for WSNs with
respect to both performance and security requirements. The
feasibility of the scheme is demonstrated by experiments on
real sensor platforms. To our best knowledge, this paper is
the first to realize distributed fine-grained data access
control for WSNs.}

programming languages, present a model of typed,
polymorphic programming languages that reflects recent
research in type theory, and examine the relevance of
recent research to the design of practical programming
languages. Object-oriented languages provide both a
framework and a motivation for exploring the interaction
among the concepts of type, data abstraction, and
polymorphism, since they extend the notion of type to data
abstraction and since type inheritance is an important form
of polymorphism. We develop a &lgr;-calculus-based model for type systems that allows us to explore these
interactions in a simple setting, unencumbered by
complexities of production programming languages. The
evolution of languages from untyped universes to
monomorphic andthen polymorphic type systems is reviewed.
Mechanisms for polymorphism such as overloading, coercion,
subtyping, and parameterization are examined. A unifying
framework for polymorphic type systems is developed in
terms of the typed &lgr;-calculus augmented to include
binding of typesby quantification as well as binding of
values by abstraction. The typed &lgr;-calculus is
augmented by universal quantification to model generic
functions with type parameters, existential quantification and packaging (information hiding) to model abstract data types, and bounded quantification to model subtypes and
type inheritance. In this way we obtain a simple and
precise characterization of a powerful type system that includes abstract data types, parametric polymorphism, and
multiple inheritance in a single consistent framework. The
mechanisms for type checking for the augmented
&lgr;-calculus are discussed. The augmented typed
&lgr;-calculus is used as a programming language for a
variety of illustrative examples. We christen this language Fun because fun instead of &lgr; is the functional
abstraction keyword and because it is pleasant to deal with. Funis mathematically simple and can serve as a basis for the design and implementation of real programming
languages with type facilities that are more powerful and
expressive than those of existing programming languages. In

constraints. From a pragmatic point of view, such causality
constraints are needed to express, for example, that each
acknowledgment must be preceded by a matching request,
which is frequently required by communication protocols.
Our generalization is based on the introduction of
histories into OCL. Histories describe the external
behavior of objects and groups of objects. Moreover, to
reason compositionally about the behavior of a complex
system we distinguish between local specifications of a
single object andglobal specifications describing the
interaction between objects. These two types of
specifications are expressed in syntactically difierent
dialects of OCL. Our notion of compositionality, which is
formalized in this paper by a compatibility predicate on
histories, allows the verification of models during the
early stages of a design. }

abstract = {Partial redundancy elimination is a code optimization with
a long history of literature and implementation. In
practice, its effectiveness depends on issues of naming and
code shape. This paper shows that a combination of global
reassociation andglobalvalue numbering can increase the
effectiveness of partial redundancy elimina- tion. By
imposing a discipline on the choice of names and the shape
of expressions, we are able to expose more redundancies, As
part of the work, we introduce a new algorithm forglobal
reassociation of expressions. It usesglobalin- formation to reorder expressions, creating opportunities for other
optimization. The new algorithm generalizes earlier work
that ordered FORTRAN array address ex- pressions to improve
optimization.}

This automated technique for verification and debugging has developed into a mature and widely used approach with many applications. \_Principles of Model Checking\_ offers a comprehensive introduction to model checking that is not only a text suitable for classroom use but also a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in the field. The book begins with the basic principles for modeling concurrent and communicating systems, introduces different classes of properties (including safety and liveness), presents the notion of fairness, and provides automata- based algorithms for these properties. It introduces the temporal logics LTL and CTL, compares them, and covers algorithms for verifying these logics, discussing real-time systems as well as systems subject to random phenomena. Separate chapters treat such efficiency-improving techniques as abstraction and symbolic manipulation.

At this scale, small and large components fail continuously and the way persistent state is managed in the face of these failures drives the reliability and scalability of the software systems. This paper presents the design and implementation of Dynamo, a highly available key-value storage system that some of Amazon's core services use to provide an "always-on" experience. To achieve this level of availability, Dynamo sacrifices consistency under certain failure scenarios. It makes extensive use of object versioning and application-assisted conflict resolution in a manner that provides a novel interface for developers to use.} }

Approximate authorization responses are inferred from cached primary responses, and therefore provide an alternative source of access control decisions in the event that the authorization server is unavailable or slow. The ability to compute approximate authorizations improves the reliability and performance of access control sub-systems and ultimately the application systems themselves.The operation of a system that employs SAAM depends on the type of access control policy it implements. We propose and analyze algorithms for computing secondary authorizations in the case of policies based on the Bell-LaPadula model. In this context, we define a dominance graph, and describe its construction and usage for generating secondary responses to authorization requests. Preliminary results of evaluating SAAM BLP algorithms demonstrate a 30\% increase in the number of authorization requests that can be served without consulting access control policies.} }

However, the provision of e-services through the Internet imposes increased risks, since it exposes data and sensitive information outside the client premises. Thus, an advanced security mechanism has to be incorporated, in order to protect this information against unauthorized access. In this paper, we present a context-aware access control architecture, in order to support fine-grained authorizations for the provision of e-services, based on an end-to-end web services infrastructure. Access permissions to distributed web services are controlled through an intermediary server, in a completely transparent way to both clients and protected resources. The access control mechanism is based on a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model, which incorporates dynamic context information, in the form of context constraints. Context is dynamically updated and provides a high level of abstraction of the physical environment by using the concepts of simple and composite context conditions. Also, the paper deals with implementation issues and presents a system that incorporates the proposed access control mechanism in a web services infrastructure that conform to the OPC XML-DA specification.} }

Authorization recycling is one technique that has been used to address these challenges. This paper introduces and evaluates the mechanisms for authorization recycling in RBAC enterprise systems. The algorithms that support these mechanisms allow precise and approximate authorization decisions to be made, thereby masking possible failures of the policy decision point and reducing its load. We evaluate these algorithms analytically and using a prototype implementation. Our evaluation results demonstrate that authorization recycling can improve the performance of distributed access control mechanisms.} }

Besides being an essential information delivery tool, the Web is increasingly being regarded as an extension of the organization itself, directly integrated with its operating processes. As this transformation takes place, security grows in importance. IBM Tivoli Access Manager offers a shared infrastructure for authentication and access management, technologies that have begun to emerge in the commercial marketplace. This paper describes the Authorization Service provided by IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business (AM) and its use by AM family members as well as third-party applications. Policies are defined over a protected object namespace and stored in a database, which is managed via a management console and accessed through an Authorization API. The protected object namespace abstracts from heterogeneous systems and thus enables the definition of consistent policies and their centralized management. ACL inheritance and delegated management allow these policies to be managed efficiently. The Authorization API allows applications with their own access control requirements to decouple authorization logic from application logic. Policy checking can be externalized by using either a proxy that sits in front of the Web servers and application servers or a plug-in that examines the request. Thus, AM familiy members establish a single entry point to enforce enterprise policies that regulate access to corporate data.} }
@Book{ heijenoort:from:2002, abstract = {The fundamental texts of the great classical period in modern logic, some of them never before available in English translation, are here gathered together for the first time. Modern logic, heralded by Leibniz, may be said to have been initiated by Boole, De Morgan, and Jevons, but it was the publication in 1879 of Gottlob Frege's Begriffsschrift that opened a great epoch in the history of logic by presenting, in full-fledged form, the propositional calculus and quantification theory. Frege's book, translated in its entirety, begins the present volume. The emergence of two new fields, set theory and foundations of mathematics, on the borders of logic, mathematics, and philosophy, is depicted by the texts that follow. Peano and Dedekind illustrate the trend that led to Principia Mathematica. Burali-Forti, Cantor, Russell, Richard, and K\"{o}nig mark the appearance of the modern paradoxes. Hilbert, Russell, and Zermelo show various ways of overcoming these paradoxes and initiate, respectively, proof theory, the theory of types, and axiomatic set theory. Skolem generalizes L\"{o}wenheim's theorem, and he and Fraenkel amend Zermelo's axiomatization of set theory, while von Neumann offers a somewhat different system. The controversy between Hubert and Brouwer during the twenties is presented in papers of theirs and in others by Weyl, Bernays, Ackermann, and Kolmogorov. The volume concludes with papers by Herbrand and by G\"{o}del, including the latter's famous incompleteness paper. Of the forty-five contributions here collected all but five are presented in extenso. Those not originally written in English have been translated with exemplary care and exactness; the translators are themselves mathematical logicians as well as skilled interpreters of sometimes obscure texts. Each paper is introduced by a note that sets it in perspective, explains its importance, and points out difficulties in interpretation.

In the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model access to resources is based on the role the user holds within the organization. Although flexible and easier to manage within large-scale authorization frameworks, RBAC is usually a static model where access control decisions have only two output options: Grant or Deny. Break The Glass (BTG) policies can be provided in order to break or override the access controls within an access control policy but in a controlled and justifiable manner. The main objective of this paper is to integrate BTG within the NIST/ANSI RBAC model in a transparent and secure way so that it can be adopted generically in any domain where unanticipated or emergency situations may occur. The new proposed model, called BTG-RBAC, provides a third decision option BTG. This allows break the glass policies to be implemented in any application without any major changes to either the application or the RBAC authorization infrastructure, apart from the decision engine. Finally, in order to validate the model, we discuss how the BTG-RBAC model is being introduced within a Portuguese healthcare institution where the legislation requires that genetic information must be accessed by a restricted group of healthcare professionals. These professionals, advised by the ethical committee, have required and asked for the implementation of the BTG concept in order to comply with the said legislation.} }

By demand-driven, we mean that as few intraprocedural paths as possible are symbolically executed in order to form an interprocedural path leading to a specific target branch or statement of interest (like an assertion). A key originality of this work is that our demand-driven compositional interprocedural symbolic execution is performed entirely using first-order logic formulas solved with an off-the-shelf SMT (Satisfiability-Modulo-Theories) solver {\^a} no procedure in-lining or custom algorithm is required for the interprocedural part. This allows a uniform and elegant way of summarizing procedures at various levels of detail and of composing those using logic formulas.

Given a formal specification for a method, Korat uses the method precondition to automatically generate all (nonisomorphic) test cases up to a given small size. Korat then executes the method on each test case, and uses the method postcondition as a test oracle to check the correctness of each output.To generate test cases for a method, Korat constructs a Java predicate (i.e., a method that returns a boolean) from the method's pre-condition. The heart of Korat is a technique for automatic test case generation: given a predicate and a bound on the size of its inputs, Korat generates all (nonisomorphic) inputs for which the predicate returns true. Korat exhaustively explores the bounded input space of the predicate but does so efficiently by monitoring the predicate's executions and pruning large portions of the search space.This paper illustrates the use of Korat for testing several data structures, including some from the Java Collections Framework. The experimental results show that it is feasible to generate test cases from Java predicates, even when the search space for inputs is very large. This paper also compares Korat with a testing framework based on declarative specifications. Contrary to our initial expectation, the experiments show that Korat generates test cases much faster than the declarative framework.} }

Part of this work has consisted of building a new Java Virtual Machine that interprets Java bytecode. JPF uses state compression to handle big states, and partial order and symmetry reduction, slicing, abstraction, and runtime analysis techniques to reduce the state space. JPF has been applied to a real-time avionics operating system developed at Honeywell, illustrating an intricate error, and to a model of a spacecraft controller, illustrating the combination of abstraction, runtime analysis, and slicing with model checking.} }

We prove results on the complexity of this problem, including its undecidability in the general case and decidability of some special cases. In the context of test-case generation, we are interested in an efficient finite model finding method for string constraints. To this end we develop a two-tier finite model finding procedure. First, an integer abstraction of string constraints are passed to an SMT (Satisfiability Modulo Theories) solver. The abstraction is either unsatisfiable, or the solver produces a model that fixes lengths of enough strings to reduce the entire problem to be finite domain. The resulting fixed-length string constraints are then solved in a second phase. We implemented the procedure in a symbolic execution framework, report on the encouraging results and discuss directions for improving the method further.} }

With this has come the need for more security and firewalls have proved themselves an important piece of the overall architecture, as the body of rules they implement actually realises the security policy of their owners. Unfor- tunately, there is little help for their administrators to understand the actual meaning of the firewall rules. This work shows that formal logic is an important tool in this respect, because it is particularly apt at modelling real-world situations and its formalism is conductive to reason about such a model. As a consequence, logic may be used to prove the properties of the models it represents and is a sensible way to go in order to create those models on com- puters to automate such activities. We describe here a prototype which includes a description of a network and the body of firewall rules applied to its components. We were able to detect a number of anomalies within the rule-set: inexistent elements (e.g. hosts or services on destination components), redundancies in rules defining the same action for a network and hosts belonging to it, irrelevance as rules would involve traffic that would not pass through a filtering device, and contradiction in actions applied to elements or to a network and its hosts. The prototype produces actual firewall rules as well, generated from the model and expressed in the syntax of IPChains and Cisco's PIX. } }

Furthermore, dependency of firewalls to the network topology, frequent changes in network topology (specially in dynamic networks), and lack of a method for analysis and verification of specified security policy may reduce to inconsistencies and security holes. Existence of a higher level environment for security policy specification can rectify part of the problems. In this paper we present a language for high level and formal specification of security policy in firewalls. Using the language, a security manager can configure its firewall based on his required security policy independent of the network topology. The language is used as a framework for analysis and verification of security policies. We designed and implemented a tool based on theorem proving for detecting inconsistencies, coverage, as well as applying a query on the specified policy. Results of analysis can be used to detect security vulnerabilities.} }

Mobile telecommunications failed in many different ways and from many different causes, including physical damage to handsets, as well as the loss of base stations and UPSs. The insights gained from the floods are being used to inform the design of next generation mobile digital communications systems for UK responders. However, the technical problems are arguably less important than the insights that were obtained about {\^a}systemic{\^a} failures in the interfaces between local government, emergency services and the variety of agencies that must cooperate in major civil contingencies. Problems in information management led to inconsistencies and incompatibilities. In consequence, the output from one application could not easily be used as input to systems operated by other agencies. These issues must be addressed before we are overwhelmed by the increased bandwidth afforded by new mobile devices and novel sensing technologies. It is concluded that unless we understand the chaos, complexity and the contextual issues that characterise previous emergency situations then there is little prospect that we will be able to design effective mobile technologies for future incidents.} }
