Information Flow Control in Cyclic Process Networks

Authors: Bas van den Heuvel, Farzaneh Derakhshan, and Stephanie Balzer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 313, 38th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2024)

Abstract
Protection of confidential data is an important security consideration of today’s applications. Of particular concern is to guard against unintentional leakage to a (malicious) observer, who may interact with the program and draw inference from made observations. Information flow control (IFC) type systems address this concern by statically ruling out such leakage. This paper contributes an IFC type system for message-passing concurrent programs, the computational model of choice for many of today’s applications such as cloud computing and IoT applications. Such applications typically either implicitly or explicitly codify protocols according to which message exchange must happen, and to statically ensure protocol safety, behavioral type systems such as session types can be used. This paper marries IFC with session typing and contributes over prior work in the following regards: (1) support of realistic cyclic process networks as opposed to the restriction to tree-shaped networks, (2) more permissive, yet entirely secure, IFC control, exploiting cyclic process networks, and (3) considering deadlocks as another form of side channel, and asserting deadlock-sensitive noninterference (DSNI) for well-typed programs. To prove DSNI, the paper develops a novel logical relation that accounts for cyclic process networks. The logical relation is rooted in linear logic, but drops the tree-topology restriction imposed by prior work.

Domain Reasoning in TopKAT

Authors: Cheng Zhang, Arthur Azevedo de Amorim, and Marco Gaboardi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 297, 51st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2024)

Abstract
TopKAT is the algebraic theory of Kleene algebra with tests (KAT) extended with a top element. Compared to KAT, one pleasant feature of TopKAT is that, in relational models, the top element allows us to express the domain and codomain of a relation. This enables several applications in program logics, such as proving under-approximate specifications or reachability properties of imperative programs. However, while TopKAT inherits many pleasant features of KATs, such as having a decidable equational theory, it is incomplete with respect to relational models. In other words, there are properties that hold true of all relational TopKATs but cannot be proved with the axioms of TopKAT. This issue is potentially worrisome for program-logic applications, in which relational models play a key role. In this paper, we further investigate the completeness properties of TopKAT with respect to relational models. We show that TopKAT is complete with respect to (co)domain comparison of KAT terms, but incomplete when comparing the (co)domain of arbitrary TopKAT terms. Since the encoding of under-approximate specifications in TopKAT hinges on this type of formula, the aforementioned incompleteness results have a limited impact when using TopKAT to reason about such specifications.

Limitations of Applicative Bisimulation (Preliminary Report)

Authors: Vasileios Koutavas, Paul Blain Levy, and Eijiro Sumii

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10351, Modelling, Controlling and Reasoning About State (2010)

Abstract
We present a series of examples that illuminate an important aspect of the semantics of higher-order functions with local state. Namely that certain behaviour of such functions can only be observed by pro- viding them with arguments that contain the functions themselves. This provides evidence for the necessity of complex conditions for functions in modern semantics for state, such as logical relations and Kripke-like bisimulations, where related functions are applied to related arguments (that may contain the functions). It also suggests that simpler semantics, such as those based on applicative bisimulations where functions are ap- plied to identical arguments, would not scale to higher-order languages with local state.
