Synthesis of Non-Interferent Timed Systems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 5813))

Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the synthesis of secure timed systems which are given by timed automata. The security property that the system must satisfy is a non-interference property. Various notions of non-interference have been defined in the literature, and in this paper we focus on Strong Non-deterministic Non-Interference (SNNI) and we study the two following problems: (1) check whether it is possible to enforce a system to be SNNI; if yes (2) compute a sub-system which is SNNI.
