Combining Logics for Modelling Security Policies
Liu, C., McLean, P. and Ozols, M.A.
This paper considers a logical framework for modelling security policies for information systems. Epistemic, deontic and temporal logics can respectively be used to express what an agent knows or believes, what an agent is permitted or forbidden to know or do, and the dynamic progress of a system over time. In modelling a security policy for a practical system, one may need to combine these logical notions to express statements of the policy, so a combination of logics is considered. We investigate the issues regarding techniques for combining logic, approaches to formalizing security policies based on a combined logic, and strategies applied for reasoning about the security properties required to be satisfied by a policy. Several possible future research directions under this logical framework are discussed. |
