Abstract

Thesis statement. It is practical to engineer a system for proof-carrying code (PCC) in which policy is separated from mechanism. In particular, I exhibit a generic implementation of the PCC infrastructure that accepts a wide variety of security properties encoded in a formal specification language. I approach the problem by addressing two distinct subproblems: enforcement (checking programs and proofs) and certification (constructing programs and proofs).
