Abstract

Process opacity for dynamic security policies is formalized and studied. The dynamic security policies influence what an intruder can observe as well as which part of system’s behaviour is classified at a given moment. The resulting security properties are undecidable but under some realistic restrictions we obtain decidable ones.
