Abstract

An integrity policy defines the situations when modificationof information is authorized and is enforced by thesecurity mechanisms of the system. However, in a complexapplication system it is possible that an integrity policymay have been incorrectly specified and, as a result, a usermay be authorized to modify information that can lead toan unexpected system compromise. In this paper we outlinea scalable and quantitative technique that uses constraintsolving to model and analyze the effectiveness of applicationsystem integrity policies.
