TY - JOUR T1 - Security Downgrading Policies for Practicalof Software AU - JO - Journal of Information and Computing Science VL - 2 SP - 119 EP - 224 PY - 2024 DA - 2024/01 SN - 1 DO - http://doi.org/ UR - https://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/jics/22852.html KW - downgrading, security policies, information flow, relaxed noninterference, declassification. AB - Security downgrading policies control information flow and permit information release from a high security level to low security level. Many security downgrading policies are treated as declassification. This paper extend security policies to operations than declassification , the security downgrading policies support downgrading in practical software, each downgrading step is annotated with some operations when some conditions are satisfied. The security type system is formalized as relaxed noninterference.
