An Augmented Capability Architecture to Support Lattice Security and Traceability of Access | Semantic Scholar

On Access Checking in Capability-Based Systems

    Computer Science

  • 1986

The paper shows why this problem arises and provides a taxonomy of capability-based designs and identifies a class of designs that cannot enforce the Bell-LaPadula rules and two designs that do allow their enforcement.

Verifying the EROS confinement mechanism

This paper presents a verification of the EROS confinement mechanism with respect to a broad class of capability architectures (including EROS) and shows that architectures covered by this model enforce the confinement requirements if a small number of initial static checks on the confined subsystem are satisfied.

A new approach to mobile code security

This dissertation presents a novel security architecture called security-passing style and motivates its application to security issues that arise in mobile code systems such as Java using an efficient implementation that requires no special hardware or language runtime support.

A note on the confinement problem

A set of examples attempts to stake out the boundaries of the problem by defining a program during its execution so that it cannot transmit information to any other program except its caller.

A comment on the confinement problem

An approach to proving that an operating system enforces confinement, by preventing borrowed programs from writing information in storage in violation of a formally stated security policy, is presented.
