Title
Towards proving security in the presence of large untrusted components
Abstract
This paper proposes a generalized framework to build large, complex systems where security guarantees can be given for the overall system's implementation. The work builds on the formally proven correct seL4 micro-kernel and on its fine-grained access control. This access control mechanism allows large untrusted components to be isolated in a way that prevents them from violating a defined security property, leaving only the trusted components to be formally verified. The first steps of the approach are illustrated by the formalisation of a multi-level secure access device and a proof in Isabelle/HOL that information cannot flow from one back-end network to another.
