Abstract

We present Jalapa, a tool for securing Java bytecode programs with history-based usage policies. Policies are defined by usage automata, that recognize the forbidden execution histories. Usage automata are expressive enough to allow programmers specify of many real-world usage policies; yet, they are simple enough to permit formal reasoning. Programmers can sandbox untrusted pieces of code with usage policies. The Jalapa tool rewrites the Java bytecode by adding the hooks for the mechanism that enforces the given policies at run-time.
