Thread algebra is a semantics for recent object-oriented programming languages [J.A. Bergstra and M.E. Loots, J. Logic Algebr. Program. 51 (2002) 125–156; J.A. Bergstra and C.A. Middelburg, Formal Aspects Comput. (2007)] such as C# and Java. This paper shows that thread algebra provides a process-algebraic framework for reasoning about and classifying various standard notions of noninterference, an important property in secure information flow. We will take the noninterference property given by...
