Formal Methods

Abstract

Security is becoming increasingly important and formal methods offer powerful techniques for ensuring it. There are three important components in security: Confidentiality, meaning that private data is not made public data; Integrity, meaning that trusted data is not influenced by dubious data; Availability, meaning that data is not inaccessible when needed. In this chapter we show how formal methods can be used to ensure that programs preserve confidentiality and integrity.
