Additional information
<10>This work is about quantifying leakage of confidential information in programs. It provides the first precise information-theoretic semantics of while loops. The semantics describes both the amount and rate of leakage; if either is small enough, then a program might be deemed 'secure'. This paper generated great interest as witnessed by the review on the popular lambda-the-ultimate.org blog. This ground-breaking work on quantitative information flow applied to security also led to the invitation as keynote speaker at the Computer Aided Verification 2010 conference.
