Transactional Correctness for Secure Nested Transactions - (Extended Abstract)

Dominic Duggan, Ye Wu

Abstract: Secure Nested Transactions are an adaptation of traditional nested transactions to support the synergy of language-based security and multi-level database security. They have application in security for enterprise applications, where transactional semantics are a critical feature in middleware systems. This article considers correctness in terms of transactional properties for secure nested transactions. Correctness is expressed in terms of a labeled transition system, the TauZero calculus.
