Constraining how information may flow within a system is at the heart of many protection mechanisms and many security policies have direct interpretations in terms of information flow and multilevel security style controls. However, while conceptually simple, multilevel security controls have been difficult to achieve in practice. In this paper we explore how the traditional assurance measures that are used in the network multilevel security model can be re-interpreted and generalised to provide the basis of a framework for reasoning about the quality of protection provided by a secure system configuration.

Abstract. The semiring-based formalism to model soft constraint has been introduced in 1995 by Ugo Montanari and the authors of this paper. The idea was to make constraint programming more flexible and widely applicable. We also wanted to define the extension via a general formalism, so that all its instances could inherit its properties and be easily compared. Since then, much work has been done to study, extend, and apply this formalism. This papers gives a brief summary of some of these research activities. 1 Before soft constraints: a brief introduction to constraint programming
