Sensoria Bibliography Site Securing Java with Local Policies
Massimo Bartoletti, Gabriele Costa, Pierpaolo Degano, Fabio Martinelli, Roberto Zunino
abstract:
We propose an extension to the security model of Java, that allows
for specifying, analysing and enforcing history-based usage
policies. Policies are defined by usage automata, that recognize the
forbidden execution histories. Programmers can sandbox an untrusted
piece of code with a policy, which is enforced at run-time through
its local scope. A static analysis allows for optimizing the
execution monitor: only the policies not guaranteed to be always
obeyed will be enforced at run-time.
