Automatic Program Instrumentation for Automatic Verification

automatic verification of authentication protocols using genetic programming

implicit and unobserved errors and vulnerabilities issues usually arise in cryptographic protocols and especially in authentication protocols. this may enable an attacker to make serious damages to the desired system, such as having the access to or changing secret documents, interfering in bank transactions, having access to users’ accounts, or may be having the control all over the syste...

Integrating Tools for Automatic Program Verification

In this paper we describe our findings after integrating several tools based upon the Java Modeling Language (JML) [1], a specification language used to annotate Java programs. The tools we consider are Daikon [2], ESC/Java [3], JML runtime assertion checker [1], and Loop/PVS tool [4]. The first one generates specifications; the others are used to verify them. We find that for the first three i...

Automatic instrumentation for hematology.

A customary definition of automation is the replacem ent of hum an hands by machines in repetitive and usually fairly s im p le in d u s tr ia l p ro c e d u re s . E arly attem pts to introduce industrial automa­ tion in the m id-nineteenth century not surprisingly led to strikes and civil dis­ order because workers believed that the machines w ere taking away th e ir jobs. A lthough redundanc...

Application of Automatic Transformations to Program Verification

A technique fo r incorpora t ing automatic t ransformat ions i n to processes such as the app l i ca t i on of inference r u l e s , subsumptlon, and demodulation provides a mechanism fo r improving search s t ra teg ies fo r theorem proving problems a r i s i n g from the f i e l d of program v e r i f i c a t i o n .
