Résumé

We study the security property of noninterference in a core synchronous reactive language that we call CRL. In the synchronous reactive paradigm, programs communicate by means of broadcast events, and their parallel execution is regulated by a notion of instant. We first show that CRL programs are indeed reactive, namely that they always converge to a state of termination or suspension ("end of instant") in a finite number of steps. We define two bisimulation equivalences on CRL programs, corresponding respectively to a fine-grained and to a coarse-grained observation of programs. We show that coarse-grained bisimilarity is more abstract than fine-grained bisimilarity, as it is insensitive to the order of generation of events and to repeated emissions of the same event during an instant. Based on these bisimulations, two properties of Reactive Noninterference (RNI) are introduced, formalising secure information flow. Both properties are time-insensitive and termination-insensitive. Again, coarse-grained RNI is more abstract than fine-grained RNI. Finally, a type system guaranteeing both security properties is presented. Thanks to a design choice of CRL, which offers two separate constructs for loops and iteration, and to refined typing rules, this type system allows for a precise treatment of termination leaks, which are an issue in parallel languages.
