We check statically whether it is safe for untrusted foreign machine code to be loaded into a trusted host system. (Here “safety” means that the program abides by a memory-acc...
State-based model checking methods comprise computing and storing reachable states, while stateless model checking methods directly reason about reachable paths using decision proc...
We apply the symbolic analysis principle to pushdown systems. We represent (possibly in nite) sets of con gurations of such systems by means of nite-state automata. In order to re...
Abstract. We present a tool for the formal verification of ANSI-C programs using Bounded Model Checking (BMC). The emphasis is on usability: the tool supports almost all ANSI-C la...
A cryptographic protocol can be described as a system of concurrent processes, and analysis of the traces generated by this system can be used to verify authentication and secrecy ...
