Abstract

An extended Petri net formalism which can be used to model information flow security requirements is described. The proposed framework can be used to specify a range of security policies by making specific choices for the components of the model. It is believed that Petri nets provide an elegant way of modeling security policies in a distributed system. The ability to model concurrency, the structural generality of Petri nets, and the existence of powerful analytical techniques make the Petri-net modeling approach even more useful. Two examples are given to illustrate the use of such a model.
