Abstract

Recent developments in mobile code and embedded systems have led to an increased interest in open platforms, i.e. platforms which enable different applications to interact in a dynamic environment. However, the flexibility of open platforms presents major difficulties for the (formal) verification of secure interaction between the different applications. To overcome these difficulties, compositional verification techniques are required.

This paper presents a compositional approach to the specification and verification of secure applet interactions. This approach involves a compositional model of the interface behavior of applet interactions, a temporal logic property specification language, and a proof system for proving correctness of property decompositions. The usability of the approach is demonstrated on a realistic smartcard case study.
