Primal Infon Logic with Conjunctions as Sets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Primal infon logic was proposed by Gurevich and Neeman as an efficient yet expressive logic for policy and trust management. It is a propositional multimodal subintuitionistic logic decidable in linear time. However in that logic the principle of the replacement of equivalents fails. For example, (x ∧ y) → z does not entail (y ∧ x) → z, and similarly w → ((x ∧ y) ∧ z) does not entail w → (x ∧ (y ∧ z)). Imposing the full principle of the replacement of equivalents leads to an NP-hard logic according to a recent result of Beklemishev and Prokhorov. In this paper we suggest a way to regain the part of this principle restricted to conjunction: We introduce a version of propositional primal logic that treats conjunctions as sets, and show that the derivation problem for this logic can be decided in linear expected time and quadratic worst-case time.

From Primal Infon Logic with Individual Variables to Datalog
The logic core of Distributed Knowledge Authorization Logic, DKAL, is constructive logic with a quotation construct said. This logic is known as the logic of infons. The primal fragment of infon logic is amenable to linear time decision algorithms when policies and queries are ground. In the presence of policies with variables and implicit universal quantification, but no functions of positive ...
متن کاملBasic primal infon logic
Primal infon logic (PIL) was introduced in 2009 in the framework of policy and trust management. In the meantime, some generalizations appeared, and there have been some changes in the syntax of the basic PIL. This paper is on the basic PIL, and one of our purposes is to “institutionalize” the changes. We prove a small-model theorem for the propositional fragment of basic primal infon logic (PP...
متن کاملTransitive Primal Infon Logic
Primal infon logic was introduced in 2009 in connection with access control. In addition to traditional logic constructs, it contains unary connectives p said indispensable in the intended access control applications. Propositional primal infon logic is decidable in linear time, yet suffices for many common access control scenarios. The most obvious limitation on its expressivity is the failure...
متن کاملHilbertian Deductive Systems, Infon Logic, and Datalog
In the first part of the paper, we develop a general method for converting derivability problems, from a broad range of deductive systems, into the derivability problem in a quite specific system, namely the Datalog fragment of universal Horn logic. In this generality, the derivability problems may not be recursively solvable, let alone feasible; in particular, we may get Datalog “programs” wit...
متن کاملPrimal Implication as Encryption
We propose a “cryptographic” interpretation for the propositional connectives of primal infon logic introduced by Y. Gurevich and I. Neeman and prove the corresponding soundness and completeness results. Primal implication φ→p ψ corresponds to the encryption of ψ with a secret key φ, primal disjunction φ ∨p ψ is a group key and ⊥ reflects some backdoor constructions such as full superuser permi...
