Abstract

The Dependency Core Calculus (DCC) is an extension of the computational lambda calculus that was designed in order to capture the notion of dependency that arises in information-flow control, partial evaluation, and other programming-language settings. We show that, unexpectedly, DCC can also be used as a calculus for access control in distributed systems. Initiating the study of DCC from this perspective, we explore some of its appealing properties.
