Abstract

This paper proposes a new static analysis for inference of explicit information flow. The analysis is context-sensitive, cubic, and works both on complete programs and software components. We perform experiments on several Java components which show that the analysis is precise and practical. Thus, the analysis can be incorporated in program understanding and verification tools and help verify security properties in a light-weight, practical manner.
