Abstract

In this paper we study security in component-based software applications by looking at information leakage from one component to another through operation calls. We model components and security specifications about confidentiality as regular languages. Then we provide a systematic way to construct an access control mechanism that not only guarantees all specifications to be obeyed, but also allows each user to attain maximum permissive behaviors.
