Sensoria Bibliography Site Securing Java with Local Policies
Massimo Bartoletti, Gabriele Costa, Pierpaolo Degano, Gianluigi Ferrari, Fabio Martinelli, Roberto Zunino
abstract:
We propose an extension to the security model of Java. It allows for specifying, analysing and enforcing history-based policies. Policies are defined by finite state automata recognizing the permitted 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, that will only check the program points where some security violation may actually occur.
