Abstract

Programs with publicly accessible interfaces are increasingly used to process confidential data. This makes it all the more important to control the information flow within such applications. This thesis shows how highly precise specification and deductive verification of language-based secure information flow can be made feasible. The approach does not rely on fixed approximations, but makes use of the precision provided by the underlying calculus for Java Dynamic Logic.
