An information-flow security policy constrains a computer system's end-to-end use of information, even as it is transformed in computation. For instance, a policy would not just restrict what secret data could be revealed directly, but restrict any output that might allow inferences about the secret. Expressing such a policy quantitatively, in terms of a specific number of bits of information, is often an effective program independent way of distinguishing what scenarios should be allowed and disallowed. This thesis describes a family of new techniques for measuring how much information about a program's secret inputs is revealed by its public outputs on a particular execution, in order to check a quantitative policy on realistic systems. Our approach builds on dynamic tainting, tracking at runtime which bits might contain secret in formation, and also uses static control-flow regions to soundly account for implicit flows via branches and pointer operations. We introduce a new graph model that bounds information flow by the maximum flow between inputs and outputs in a flow network representation of an execution. The flow bounds obtained with maximum flow are much more precise than those based on tainting alone (which is equivalent to graph reachability). The bounds are a conservative estimate of channel capacity: the amount of information that could be transmitted by an adversary making an arbitrary choice of secret inputs. We describe an implementation named Flowcheck, built using the Valgrind framework for x86/Linux binaries, and use it to perform case studies on six real C, C++, and Objective C programs, three of which have more than 250,000 lines of code. We used the tool to check the confidentiality of a different kind of information appropriate to each program. Its results either verified that the information was appropriately kept secret on the examined executions, or revealed unacceptable leaks, in one case due to a previously unknown bug.

This book presents a comprehensive mathematical theory that explains precisely what information flow is, how it can be assessed quantitatively – so bringing precise meaning to the intuition that certain information leaks are small enough to be tolerated – and how systems can be constructed that achieve rigorous, quantitative information-flow guarantees in those terms. It addresses the fundamental challenge that functional and practical requirements frequently conflict with the goal of preserving confidentiality, making perfect security unattainable. Topics include: a systematic presentation of how unwanted information flow, i.e., "leaks", can be quantified in operationally significant ways and then bounded, both with respect to estimated benefit for an attacking adversary and by comparisons between alternative implementations; a detailed study of capacity, refinement, and Dalenius leakage, supporting robust leakage assessments; a unification of information-theoretic channels and information-leaking sequential programs within the same framework; and a collection of case studies, showing how the theory can be applied to interesting realistic scenarios. The text is unified, self-contained and comprehensive, accessible to students and researchers with some knowledge of discrete probability and undergraduate mathematics, and contains exercises to facilitate its use as a course textbook.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Formal Aspects in Security and Trust, FAST 2009, held under the auspices of IFIP WG 1.7 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in November 2009 as an event of the Formal Methods Week, FMweek 2009. The 18 revised papers presented together with an abstract of the invited lecture were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. The papers focus of formal aspects in security and trust policy models, security protocol design and analysis, formal models of trust and reputation, logics for security and trust, distributed trust management systems, trust-based reasoning, digital assets protection, data protection, privacy and id issues, information flow analysis, language-based security, security and trust aspects in ubiquitous computing, validation/analysis tools, Web service security/trust/privacy, grid security, security risk assessment, and case studies.

The TaintMark approach is inspired by blackbox differential testing principles to test for inaccuracies in DFTs, but it also addresses numerous practical challenges that arise when applying those principles to real, complex applications. We introduce the TaintMark methodology by using it to understand taint tracking accuracy trade-offs in TaintDroid, a well-known DFT system for Android. While the aforementioned works focus on the efficiency and accuracy issues of DFT systems that dynamically track data flow, we also explore another design choice that statically tracks information flow by analyzing and instrumenting the application source code. We apply this approach to the different problem of integer error detection in order to reduce the number of false alarmings.

This book considers a relatively new metric in complex systems, transfer entropy, derived from a series of measurements, usually a time series. After a qualitative introduction and a chapter that explains the key ideas from statistics required to understand the text, the authors then present information theory and transfer entropy in depth. A key feature of the approach is the authors' work to show the relationship between information flow and complexity. The later chapters demonstrate information transfer in canonical systems, and applications, for example in neuroscience and in finance. The book will be of value to advanced undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in the areas of computer science, neuroscience, physics, and engineering.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Engineering Secure Software and Systems, ESSoS 2016, held in London, UK, in April 2016. The 13 full papers presented together with 3 short papers and 1 invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. The goal of this symposium, is to bring together researchers and practitioners to advance the states of the art and practice in secure software engineering. The presentations and associated publications at ESSoS 2016 contribute to this goal in several directions: First, by improving methodologies for secure software engineering (such as flow analysis and policycompliance). Second, with results for the detection and analysis of software vulnerabilities and the attacks they enable. Finally, for securing software for specific application domains (such as mobile devices and access control).
