Information flow in nondeterministic systems

Key Points

The aim is to analyze recent combinatorial theories of computer security from the viewpoint of information theory.
Evaluates information-flow theories focused on nondeducibility.
Applies findings to nondeterministic systems that may be networked.
Identifies key insights relevant to the applicability of information-flow theories.
Highlights the role of nondeducibility in enhancing computer security.

Abstract

An analysis of some recent combinatorial theories of computer security is presented from the perspective of information theory. The theories analyzed are information-flow theories based on the concept of nondeducibility. They are intended to be applicable to nondeterministic systems that may be networked.>
