Abstract

Our goal in this paper is not to enrich the literature with yet another defence of formal methods, but rather to build on our experience of using and studying formal methods in security to provide an industrial point of view, with a strong emphasis on practicality. We also hope that, even if we take our inspiration mainly in the security area, most of our observations on formal methods are relevant to other application domains as well. The term "security" itself can be used in various contexts with different meanings. We use it here in the sense of security of information, as defined by the standard triptych: confidentiality, integrity and availability.
