Mechanizing metatheory in a logical framework

R Harper, DR Licata - Journal of functional programming, 2007 - cambridge.org
The LF logical framework codifies a methodology for representing deductive systems, such
as programming languages and logics, within a dependently typed λ-calculus. In this …

Audit-based compliance control

JG Cederquist, R Corin, MAC Dekker, S Etalle… - International Journal of …, 2007 - Springer
In this paper we introduce a new framework for controlling compliance to discretionary
access control policies [Cederquist et al. in Proceedings of the International Workshop on …

Nexus authorization logic (nal) design rationale and applications

FB Schneider, K Walsh, EG Sirer - ACM Transactions on Information and …, 2011 - dl.acm.org
Nexus Authorization Logic (NAL) provides a principled basis for specifying and reasoning
about credentials and authorization policies. It extends prior access control logics that are …

Programming with binders and indexed data-types

A Cave, B Pientka - Proceedings of the 39th annual ACM SIGPLAN …, 2012 - dl.acm.org
We show how to combine a general purpose type system for an existing language with
support for programming with binders and contexts by refining the type system of ML with a …

A modal deconstruction of access control logics

D Garg, M Abadi - International Conference on Foundations of Software …, 2008 - Springer
We present a translation from a logic of access control with a “says” operator to the classical
modal logic S4. We prove that the translation is sound and complete. We also show that it …

Evidence-based audit

JA Vaughan, L Jia, K Mazurak… - 2008 21st IEEE …, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Authorization logics provide a principled and flexible approach to specifying access control
policies. One of their compelling benefits is that a proof in the logic is evidence that an …

Variations in access control logic

M Abadi - International Conference on Deontic Logic in Computer …, 2008 - Springer
In this paper we investigate the design space of access control logics. Specifically, we
consider several possible axioms for the common operator says. Some of the axioms come …

A linear logic of authorization and knowledge

D Garg, L Bauer, KD Bowers, F Pfenning… - … Security–ESORICS 2006 …, 2006 - Springer
We propose a logic for specifying security policies at a very high level of abstraction. The
logic accommodates the subjective nature of affirmations for authorization and knowledge …

A type discipline for authorization in distributed systems

C Fournet, A Gordon, S Maffeis - 20th IEEE Computer Security …, 2007 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider the problem of statically verifying the conformance of the code of a system to an
explicit authorization policy. In a distributed setting, some part of the system may be …
