A Survey on Abstract Non-interference
Abstract interpretation-based approaches to Security - A Survey on Abstract Non-Interference and its Challenging Applications
Abstract non-interference is a powerful approach providing new perspectives and new solutions to open problems.In particular, we describe a general formalization of abstract non-interference by means of three dimensions (observation, protection and semantics) that can be instantiated in order to obtain well known or even even new weakened non-interference properties.Then, we show that the notions of abstract non-interference introduced in language-based security are instances of this more general framework which allows to better understand the different components of a non-interference policy.Finally, we consider two challenging research fields concerning security where abstract non-interference seems a promising approach providing new perspectives and new solutions to open problems : code injection and code obfuscation.
