Proof-carrying code is a framework for the mechanical verification of safety properties of machine language programs, but the problem arises of quis custodiat ipsos custodes—wh...
Abstract. There is a growing need to provide low-overhead softwarebased protection mechanisms to protect against malicious or untrusted code. Type-based approaches such as proof-ca...
Automated verification tools vary widely in the types of properties they are able to analyze, the complexity of their algorithms, and the amount of necessary user involvement. In ...
In recent years we have seen great progress made in the area of automatic source-level static analysis tools. However, most of today's program verification tools are limited ...

We present a logic that can express properties of freshness, secrecy, structure, and behavior of concurrent systems. In addition to standard logical and temporal operators, our lo...
