Network information flow

by Rudolf Ahlswede, Ning Cai, Shuo-Yen Robert Li, Raymond W. Yeung - IEEE TRANS. INFORM. THEORY , 2000
"... We introduce a new class of problems called network information flow which is inspired by computer network applications. Consider a point-to-point communication network on which a number of information sources are to be mulitcast to certain sets of destinations. We assume that the information source ..."

Language-Based Information-Flow Security

by Andrei Sabelfeld , Andrew C. Myers - IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS , 2003
"... Current standard security practices do not provide substantial assurance that the end-to-end behavior of a computing system satisfies important security policies such as confidentiality. An end-to-end confidentiality policy might assert that secret input data cannot be inferred by an attacker throug ..."

through the attacker's observations of system output; this policy regulates information flow.

A Lattice Model of Secure Information Flow

by Dorothy E. Denning , 1976
"... This paper investigates mechanisms that guarantee secure information flow in a computer system. These mechanisms are examined within a mathematical framework suitable for formulating the requirements of secure information flow among security classes. The central component of the model is a lattice s ..."

JFlow: Practical Mostly-Static Information Flow Control

by Andrew C. Myers - In Proc. 26th ACM Symp. on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL , 1999
"... A promising technique for protecting privacy and integrity of sensitive data is to statically check information flow within programs that manipulate the data. While previous work has proposed programming language extensions to allow this static checking, the resulting languages are too restrictive f ..."

Certification of Programs for Secure Information Flow

by Dorothy E. Denning, Peter J. Denning , 1977
"... This paper presents a certification mechanism for verifying the secure flow of information through a program. Because it exploits the properties of a lattice structure among security classes, the procedure is sufficiently simple that it can easily be included in the analysis phase of most existing c ..."

TaintDroid: An Information-Flow Tracking System for Realtime Privacy Monitoring on Smartphones

by William Enck, Landon P. Cox, Jaeyeon Jung, et al. , 2010
"... Today’s smartphone operating systems fail to provide users with adequate control and visibility into how third-party applications use their private data. We present TaintDroid, an efficient, system-wide dynamic taint tracking and analysis system for the popular Android platform that can simultaneous ..."
Abstract - Cited by 498 (23 self) - Add to MetaCart
, if any, perceivable overhead when running thirdparty applications. We use TaintDroid to study the behavior of 30 popular third-party Android applications and find several instances of misuse of users ’ private information. We believe that TaintDroid is the first working prototype demonstrating

An information flow model for conflict and fission in small groups

by Wayne W. Zachary - J. Anthropolog. Res , 1977
"... Data from a voluntary association are used to construct a new formal model for a traditional anthropological problem, fission in small groups. The process leading to fission is viewed as an unequal flow of sentiments and information across the ties in a social network. This flow is unequal because i ..."

Information flow inference for ML

by François Pottier, Vincent Simonet - ACM Trans. Program. Lang. Syst
"... This paper presents a type-based information flow analysis for a call-by-value λ-calculus equipped with references, exceptions and let-polymorphism, which we refer to as Core ML. The type system is constraint-based and has decidable type inference. Its noninterference proof is reasonably light-weigh ..."

A Decentralized Model for Information Flow Control

by Andrew C. Myers, Barbara Liskov - In Proc. 17th ACM Symp. on Operating System Principles (SOSP , 1997
"... This paper presents a new model for controlling information flow in systems with mutual distrust and decentralized authority. The model allows users to share information with distrusted code (e.g., downloaded applets), yet still control how that code disseminates the shared information to others. Th ..."

Wireless Network Information Flow: A Deterministic Approach

by A. Salman Avestimehr, et al. , 2009
"... In contrast to wireline networks, not much is known about the flow of information over wireless networks. The main barrier is the complexity of the signal interaction in wireless channels in addition to the noise in the channel. A widely accepted model is the the additive Gaussian channel model, and ..."
