Reconciling Belief and Vulnerability in Information Flow
Reconciling Belief and Vulnerability in Information Flow
Belief and vulnerability have been proposed re- cently to quantify information flow in security systems. Both concepts stand as alternatives to the traditional approaches founded on Shannon entropy and mutual information, which were shown to provide inadequate security guarantees. In this paper we unify the two concepts in one model so as to cope with (potentially inaccurate) attackers’ extra knowledge. To this end we propose a new metric based on vulnerability that takes into account the adversary’s beliefs.

Abstract
Belief and vulnerability have been proposed re- cently to quantify information flow in security systems. Both concepts stand as alternatives to the traditional approaches founded on Shannon entropy and mutual information, which were shown to provide inadequate security guarantees. In this paper we unify the two concepts in one model so as to cope with (potentially inaccurate) attackers’ extra knowledge. To this end we propose a new metric based on vulnerability that takes into account the adversary’s beliefs.
