Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and systems for automatic correction of security downgraders includes performing a security analysis that disregards existing user-provided downgraders to detect flows that are vulnerable; locating candidate downgraders on the flows; determining whether each of the candidate downgraders protects against all vulnerabilities associated with each downgrader's respective flow; and transforming candidate downgraders that do not protect against all of the associated vulnerabilities, such that the transformed downgraders do protect against all of the associated vulnerabilities.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for automatic correction of security downgraders, comprising: performing a security analysis that disregards existing user-provided downgraders to detect flows that are vulnerable; locating candidate downgraders on said flows; determining whether each of the candidate downgraders protects against all vulnerabilities associated with each downgrader's respective flow; and transforming with a processor candidate downgraders that do not protect ag…
