Information Leakage of Non-Terminating Processes

Abstract
In recent years, quantitative security techniques have been providing effective measures of the security of a system against an attacker. Such techniques usually assume that the system produces a finite amount of observations based on a finite amount of secret bits and terminates, and the attack is based on these observations. By modeling systems with Markov chains, we are able to measure the effectiveness of attacks on non-terminating systems. Such systems do not necessarily produce a finite amount of output and are not necessarily based on a finite amount of secret bits. We provide characterizations and algorithms to define meaningful measures of security for non-terminating systems, and to compute them when possible. We also study the bounded versions of the problems, and show examples of non-terminating programs and how their effectiveness in protecting their secret can be measured.

Multivariate matrix-exponential distributions

Authors: Mogens Bladt and Bo Friis Nielsen

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7461, Numerical Methods for Structured Markov Chains (2008)

Abstract
We review what is currently known about one-dimensional distributions on the non-negative reals with rational Laplace transform, also known as matrix-exponential distributions. In particular we discuss a flow interpreation which enables one to mimic certain probabilisticly inspired arguments which are known from the theory of phase-type distributions. We then move on to present ongoing research for higher dimensions. We discuss a characterization result, some closure properties, and a number of examples. Finally we present open problems and future perspectives.
