The paper proposes an assessment scheme for the security properties of software components. The proposed scheme consists of three stages: (i) a system-specific security requireme...
A calculus is presented for the stepwise refinement of abstract information flow architectures. We give a mathematical model for information flow components based on relations bet...
Industry is looking to create a market in reliable "plug-and-play" components. To model components in a modular style it would be useful to combine event-based and state...
