Knowledge-based Policy Enforcement Paper

Feb. 10, 2011

We have a new paper on dynamic enforcement of knowledge-based privacy policies. In this setup, a user has some private information that untrusted parties can query. The system tracks how receiving the answers to queries affects the queriers' beliefs. Using a novel abstract domain for tracking sets of probability distributions and performing Bayesian inference, the system is able to ensure that a potential attacker's uncertainty remains high across multiple queries.

I am now back in Pittsburgh and working on my thesis and a POPL submission or two. I am also looking for jobs, so if you're hiring, please see my resume.

Off to Cambridge

I am currently in Cambridge, UK at MSR. If you're in Europe and want to talk about separation logic, numeric abstractions for heap programs, or verification in general, send me an email. I'll be around until the end of April.
