Formalizing the Safety of Java, the Java Virtual Machine and Java Card, ACM Computing Surveys, to appear, 2001
We review the existing literature on Java safety, emphasizing
formal approaches, and the impact of Java safety on small
footprint devices such as smart cards. The conclusion is that while a
lot
of good work has been done, a more concerted effort is needed to build
a coherent set of machine readable formal models of the whole of Java
and its implementation. This is a formidable task but we believe it is
essential to building trust in Java safety, and thence to achieve
ITSEC level 6 or Common Criteria level 7 certification for Java
programs.
Compare to this book.
