The 7th CREST Open Workshop

Information Flow and Security

 

Date: 

Wednesday, 26th May 2010

 

Venue:

CREST Centre, King's College London

 

Overview:

Programming language based security is a growing area of research which unites theoretical questions with practical problems. Some examples of issues include threats from malicious code, the discovery of potential exploits, information flow security and understanding security protocols. Information flow analysis, closely related to dependency analysis, uses static analysis via type systems and static program analysis to guarantee the absence of unwanted flows and, increasingly, to measure the amount of flows. In this workshop the emphasis will be on recent work in measuring flows.


There is increasing industrial interest in language based security and flow security in particular. This workshop will feature an invited speaker from MessageLabs Ltd. who will talk about information flow security issues in SaaS. The workshop will be informal with plenty of opportunities for discussion.

 

Keynote:
