Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents research towards the formal specification and verification of a secure distributed system and secure application programs that run on it. We refer to the whole system from hardware to application programs written in a concurrent programming language as the Silo and to a simplified view of the Silo as the minisilo. Both minisilo and Silo consist of a collection of microprocessors interconnected by a network a distributed operating, system and a compiler for a distributed programming language. Our goal is to verify the full Silo by mechanized layered formal proof using the higher order logic theorem proving system HOL. This paper describes our current results for verifying the minisilo and our incremental approach for evolving the verification of the minisilo into the verification of the full Silo. Scalability is addressed in part - extending, the distributed operating, system with additional server which in turn provide services that extend the programming language.

Book Synopsis Formal Methods for Distributed System Development by : Tommaso Bolognesi
Download or read book Formal Methods for Distributed System Development written by Tommaso Bolognesi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-09-30 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses Formal Methods (FMs) applicable to the specification, verification, implementation, and testing of complex distributed systems and communication protocols. The early, pioneering phases in the development of Formal Methods, with their conflicts between evangelistic and skeptical attitudes, are essentially over. Many Fms have reached maturity, and a number of papers in this book report on successful experiences in specifying and verifying real distributed systems and protocols. The main topics covered are: model checking theory and applications; verification and theorem proving; testing theory and applications; multicast protocol analysis and simulation; hardware specification, implementation, and testing; FMs for security. £/LIST£ Formal Methods for Distributed System Development compiles the proceedings of the Joint International Conference on Formal Description Techniques for Distributed Systems and Communication Protocols (FORTE XIII) and Protocol Specification, Testing, and Verification (PSTV XX), which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Pisa, Italy, in October 2000. This volume is suitable as a secondary text for graduate-level courses on software engineering, distributed systems, and communications, and as a reference both for researchers and for industry practitioners.

Book Synopsis Formal Methods for Distributed Processing by : Howard Bowman
Download or read book Formal Methods for Distributed Processing written by Howard Bowman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-10-22 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 2002, this book presents techniques in the application of formal methods to object-based distributed systems. A major theme of the book is how to formally handle the requirements arising from OO distributed systems, such as dynamic reconfiguration, encapsulation, subtyping, inheritance, and real-time aspects. These may be supported either by enhancing existing notations, such as UML, LOTOS, SDL and Z, or by defining fresh notations, such as Actors, Pi-calculus and Ambients. The major specification notations and modelling techniques are introduced and compared by leading researchers. The book also includes a description of approaches to the specification of non-functional requirements, and a discussion of security issues. Researchers and practitioners in software design, object-oriented computing, distributed systems, and telecommunications systems will gain an appreciation of the relationships between the major areas of concerns and learn how the use of object-oriented based formal methods provides workable solutions.

FORTE 2008 was held at the Campus Innovation Center in Tokyo, Japan during June 10–13, 2008. FORTE denotes a series of international wo- ing conferences on formal description techniques applied to computer networks and distributed systems. The conference series started in 1981 under the name PSTV. In 1988 a second series under the name FORTE was set up. Both - ries were united to FORTE/PSTV in 1996. In 2001 the conference changed the name to its current form. Recent conferences of this long series were held in Berlin (2003), Madrid(2004), Taipei(2005), Paris(2006), and Tallinn(2007). As in the previous year, FORTE 2008 was collocated with TESTCOM/ FATES 2008: the 20th IFIP International Conference on Testing of Com- nicating Systems (TESTCOM) and the 8th International Workshop on Formal Approaches to Testing of Software (FATES). The co-location of FORTE and TESTCOM/FATES fostered the collaboration between their communities. The commonspiritofboth conferenceswasunderpinnedby jointopening andclosing sessions, invited talks, as well as joint social events.
Book Synopsis Automated Verification of Programs Running on Top of Distributed Systems by : Sidi Mohamed Beillahi

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decades, distributed software became an integral part of our society, being used in various domains like online banking or shopping, distance learning, supply chain, and telecommuting. Developing correct and efficient distributed systems is a major and timely challenge. The objective of this dissertation is to propose algorithmic techniques for improving the reliability of such software, focusing on applications ran on top of distributed storage systems like databases and blockchain. Databases allow applications to access data concurrently from multiple sites in a network. Blockchain is a cryptographically-secure distributed ledger that allows to perform irreversible actions between different parties without a trusted authority. The effect of a set of database transactions executing in parallel is specified using a formalism called consistency model. For instance, serializability states that a set of transactions behave as if they were executed serially one after another even if they actually overlap in time. Although simple to understand, serializability carries a significant penalty on performance and modern databases implement weaker consistency models. In general, these weak models are more complex to reason about. In this dissertation, we investigate the problem of checking a property of applications called robustness. Given two comparable consistency models, an application is called robust if it has the same behaviors when ran on top of databases implementing these two models. This dissertation investigates the theoretical complexity of checking robustness in the context of several consistency models: causal consistency, prefix consistency, snapshot isolation, and serializability. It provides non-trivial reductions to a well-studied problem in formal verification, assertion checking, that enables the reuse of existing verification technology. Besides theoretical results, it proposes pragmatic approaches based on under/over-approximations that are evaluated on practical applications. Applications ran on top of blockchain are deployed in the form of smart contracts that manipulate the blockchain state. Smart contracts are mainly used to govern trading in cryptoassets that are worth billions of US dollars, and bugs can lead to huge financial losses. Exacerbating the impact of these bugs is the fact that smart contracts cannot be modified once they are deployed on the blockchain. Applying techniques from formal verification to audit smart contracts can help in avoiding expensive bugs. However, since most smart contracts are not annotated with formal specifications, formal verification of functional properties is impeded. To overcome this problem, this dissertation investigates notions of refinement between smart contracts, which enable the re-use of verified contracts as specifications for other contracts, thus scaling up the overall verification effort.

Download or read book Engineering Methods and Tools for Software Safety and Security written by M. Broy and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a consequence of the wide distribution of software and software infrastructure, information security and safety depend on the quality and excellent understanding of its functioning. Only if this functionality is guaranteed as safe, customer and information are protected against adversarial attacks and malfunction. A vast proportion of information exchange is dominated by computer systems. Due to the fact that technical systems are more or less interfaced with software systems, most information exchange is closely related to software and computer systems. Information safety and security of software systems depend on the quality and excellent understanding of its functioning. The last few years have shown a renewed interest in formally specifying and verifying software and its role in engineering methods. Within the last decade, interactive program verifiers have been applied to control software and other critical applications. Software model checking has made strides into industrial applications and a number of research tools for bug detection have been built using automatic program-verification technology. Such solutions are high-level programming methods which provide strategies to ensure information security in complex software systems by automatically verified correctness. Based on the specific needs in applications of software technology, models and formal methods must serve the needs and the quality of advanced software engineering methods. This book provides an in-depth presentation of state-of-the-art topics on how to meet such challenges covering both theoretical foundations and industrial practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now that there’s software in everything, how can you make anything secure? Understand how to engineer dependable systems with this newly updated classic In Security Engineering: A Guide to Building Dependable Distributed Systems, Third Edition Cambridge University professor Ross Anderson updates his classic textbook and teaches readers how to design, implement, and test systems to withstand both error and attack. This book became a best-seller in 2001 and helped establish the discipline of security engineering. By the second edition in 2008, underground dark markets had let the bad guys specialize and scale up; attacks were increasingly on users rather than on technology. The book repeated its success by showing how security engineers can focus on usability. Now the third edition brings it up to date for 2020. As people now go online from phones more than laptops, most servers are in the cloud, online advertising drives the Internet and social networks have taken over much human interaction, many patterns of crime and abuse are the same, but the methods have evolved. Ross Anderson explores what security engineering means in 2020, including: How the basic elements of cryptography, protocols, and access control translate to the new world of phones, cloud services, social media and the Internet of Things Who the attackers are – from nation states and business competitors through criminal gangs to stalkers and playground bullies What they do – from phishing and carding through SIM swapping and software exploits to DDoS and fake news Security psychology, from privacy through ease-of-use to deception The economics of security and dependability – why companies build vulnerable systems and governments look the other way How dozens of industries went online – well or badly
Book Synopsis Trusted Computing Platforms by : Sean W. Smith
Download or read book Trusted Computing Platforms written by Sean W. Smith and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can one trust computation taking place at a remote site, particularly if a party at that site might have motivation to subvert this trust? In recent years, industrial efforts have advanced the notion of a "trusted computing platform" as a building block. Through a conspiracy of hardware and software magic, these platforms attempt to solve this remote trust problem, to preserve various critical properties against various types of adversaries. However, these current efforts are just points on a larger continuum, which ranges from earlier work on secure coprocessor design and applications, through TCPA/TCG, to recent academic developments. Without wading through stacks of theses and research literature, the general computer science reader cannot see this big picture. Trusted Computing Platforms:Design and Applications fills this gap. Starting with early prototypes and proposed applications, this book surveys the longer history of amplifying small amounts of hardware security into broader system security--and reports real case study experience with security architecture and applications on multiple types of platforms. The author examines the theory, design, implementation of the IBM 4758 secure coprocessor platform and discusses real case study applications that exploit the unique capabilities of this platform. The author discusses how these foundations grow into newer industrial designs, and discusses alternate architectures and case studies of applications that this newer hardware can enable. The author closes with an examination of more recent cutting-edge experimental work in this area. Trusted Computing Platforms:Design and Applications is written for security architects, application designers, and the general computer scientist interested in the evolution and uses of this emerging technology
