@InProceedings{ mantel:possibilistic-definitions-of-security--an-assembly-kit:2000, abstract = {We present a framework in which different notions of securitycan be defined in a uniform and modular way. Eachdefinition of security is formalized as a security predicateby assembling more primitive basic security predicates. Acollection of such basic security predicates is defined andwe demonstrate how well-known concepts like generalizednon-interference or separability can be constructed fromthem. The framework is open and can be extended with newbasic security predicates using a general schema. We investigatethe compatibility of the assembled definitions withsystem properties apart from security and propose a newdefinition of security which does not restrict non-criticalinformation flow. It turns out that the modularity of ourframework simplifies these investigation. Finally, we discussthe stepwise development of secure systems.}, address = {Cambridge, UK}, author = {Heiko Mantel}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 13th IEEE Computer Security Foundations Workshop (CSFW)}, month = {July 3--5}, pages = {185--199}, pdf = {https://www.mais.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/WebBib/papers/2000/2000ieee-csfw.pdf}, ps = {https://www.mais.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/WebBib/papers/2000/2000ieee-csfw.ps.zip}, publisher = {IEEE Computer Society}, title = {{Possibilistic Definitions of Security -- An Assembly Kit}}, year = 2000 }
