Abstract

This paper gives a security and specification-oriented semantics for systems. The semantic model is derived from that for the trace model of Hoare's Communicating Sequential Processes[Ho85] and is used to define various security concepts, such as multi-level secure system, trusted users and integrity. We indicate how implementations of secure systems may be derived from their specifications.
