We propose a type and effect system for authentication protocols built upon a tagging scheme that formalizes the intended semantics of ciphertexts. The main result is that the val...
Abstract. We present a “memory-model-sensitive” approach to validating correctness properties for multithreaded programs. Our key insight is that by specifying both the inter-t...
T his paper outlines a formal theory for de fining action concepts in taxonomical knowledge representation languages, in a form closely related to description logics. The central p...
Generalized Temporal Role Based Access Control (GTRBAC) model that captures an exhaustive set of temporal constraint needs for access control has recently been proposed. GTRBAC’...
Levesque introduced the notion of only-knowing to precisely capture the beliefs of a knowledge base. He also showed how only-knowing can be used to formalize non-monotonic behavio...
