Runtime verification of security properties with E-ACSL

Julien Signoles - CEA LIST, Software Security and Reliability Lab

Frama-C is a framework for code analysis of C code, including many analyzers. This talk presents E-ACSL, its runtime verification tool, and its applications to verification of security properties. E-ACSL automatically converts a C code annotated with formal specifications to another C code that checks them at runtime. Several usages of E-ACSL rely on automatic generation of these specifications, so that writing them by hand is not necessary. The verification process is therefore fully automatic. In this talk, we will focus on such automatic usages for verification of security properties, including verification of memory safety and information flow properties.
