Towards incrementalization of holistic hyperproperties: extended version
نویسندگان
چکیده
A hyperproperty is a set of sets of finite or infinite traces over some fixed alphabet and can be seen as a very generic system specification. In this work, we define the notions of holistic and incremental hyperproperties. Systems specified holistically tend to be more intuitive but difficult to reason about, whereas incremental specifications have a straightforward verification approach. Since most interesting security-related hyperproperties are in the syntactic class of holistic hyperproperties, we introduce the process of incrementalization to convert holistic specifications into incremental ones. We then present three incrementalizable classes of holistic hyperproperties and a respective verification method.

متن کاملCoinductive unwinding of security-relevant hyperproperties: extended version
Unwinding relations have been widely used to prove that finite systems are secure with respect to a variety of noninterference policies. The latter are prominent instances of security-relevant hyperproperties. As hyperproperties are defined on potentially infinite systems, a new mathematical development is needed in order to (re)use unwinding relations for generic verification of securityreleva...
متن کاملPull-Ups, Push-Downs, and Passing It Around - Exercises in Functional Incrementalization
Programs in functional programming languages with algebraic datatypes are often datatype-centric and use folds or fold-like functions. Incrementalization of such a program can significantly improve its performance. Functional incrementalization separates the recursion from the calculation and significantly reduces redundant computation. In this paper, we motivate incrementalization with a simpl...
متن کاملDynamic Programming via Static Incrementalization
Dynamic programming is an important algorithm design technique. It is used for solving problems whose solutions involve recursively solving subproblems that share subsubproblems. While a straightforward recursive program solves common subsubproblems repeatedly and often takes exponential time, a dynamic programming algorithm solves every subsubproblem just once, saves the result, reuses it when...
متن کاملHyperPCTL: A Temporal Logic for Probabilistic Hyperproperties
In this paper, we propose a new logic for expressing and reasoning about probabilistic hyperproperties. Hyperproperties characterize the relation between different independent executions of a system. Probabilistic hyperproperties express quantitative dependencies between such executions. The standard temporal logics for probabilistic systems, i.e., PCTL and PCTL can refer only to a single path ...
