Strong Security Guarantees: From Alloy to Coq (Research Poster)

Abstract

With the recent discoveries of widespread vulnerabilities, the use of formal methods in the design of system is more and more important, in particular in the context of Cloud computing which can be used for high performance computing applications [1]. Formal methods range from more lightweight method such as the Alloy [2] formal specification language and analyzer to more heavyweight formal methods based on proof assistants such as Isabelle/HOL or Coq [3].
