Abstract

This artifact is a web interpreter for the ObSec language defined in the companion paper. ObSec is a simple object-oriented language that supports type-based declassification. Type-base declassification exploits the familiar notion of type abstraction to support expressive declassification policies in a simple and expressive manner.

Type Abstraction for Relaxed Noninterference

Authors: Raimil Cruz, Tamara Rezk, Bernard Serpette, and Éric Tanter

Abstract

Information-flow security typing statically prevents confidential information to leak to public channels. The fundamental information flow property, known as noninterference, states that a public observer cannot learn anything from private data. As attractive as it is from a theoretical viewpoint, noninterference is impractical: real systems need to intentionally declassify some information, selectively. Among the different information flow approaches to declassification, a particularly expressive approach was proposed by Li and Zdancewic, enforcing a notion of relaxed noninterference by allowing programmers to specify declassification policies that capture the intended manner in which public information can be computed from private data. This paper shows how we can exploit the familiar notion of type abstraction to support expressive declassification policies in a simpler, yet more expressive manner. In particular, the type-based approach to declassification---which we develop in an object-oriented setting---addresses several issues and challenges with respect to prior work, including a simple notion of label ordering based on subtyping, support for recursive declassification policies, and a local, modular reasoning principle for relaxed noninterference. This work paves the way for integrating declassification policies in practical security-typed languages.
