Abstract

In this paper, we report on an ongoing case study in which we use the KeY tool, a theorem prover for checking functional correctness and noninterference properties of Java programs, to establish computational indistinguishability for a simple Java program that involves clients sending encrypted messages over an untrusted network to a server. The analysis uses a general framework, recently proposed by Küsters et al., which enables program analysis tools, such as KeY, that can check (standard) noninterference properties for Java programs to establish computational indistinguishability properties.
