Simulating midlet's security claims with automata modulo theory

Fabio Massacci, Ida Siahaan · 2008

Model-carrying code and security-by-contract have proposed to augment mobile code with a claim on its security behavior that could be matched against a mobile platform policy before downloading the code. In order to capture realistic scenarios with potentially infinite transitions (e.g. "only connections to urls starting with https") we have proposed to represent those policies with the notion of Automata Modulo Theory (AMT), an extension of Buchi Automata (BA), with edges labeled by expressions in a decidable theory.
