Abstract: A confined program is one which is unable to leak information to an unauthorized party or modify unauthorized resources. Confinement is an essential feature of any secure component-based system. This paper presents a proof of correctness of the EROS operating system architecture with respect to confinement. We give a formal statement of the requirements, construct a model of the architecture's security policy and operational semantics, and show that the architecture enforces the confinement... (Update)

.... the model itself, the formal statement of requirements, and the key pieces of the correctness proof (an unabridged proof may be found in [16, 19]) Some related work is discussed in Section 5. Finally, we discuss the implications of this work and its e ect on the original...
