  • Formal Modelling of Separation Kernels

Formal Modelling of Separation Kernels Andrius Velykis 18th September 20091 Supervised by Dr Leo Freitas Number of words = 45327, as counted by detex <report.tex> j wc -w. This report consists of 98 pages in total. This includes the body of the report (without blank pages) and Appendix A, but not Appendices B, C, D, E and F. 1Updated transactional operation proofs, 21st September 2009. Abstract A separation kernel is an architecture for secure applications, which benefits from inherent security of distributed systems. Due to its small size and usage in high-integrity environments, it makes a good target for formal modelling and verification. This project presents results from mechanisation and modelling of separation kernel components: a process table, a process queue and a scheduler. The results have been developed as a part of the pilot project within the international Grand Challenge in Verified Software. This thesis covers full development life-cycle from project initiation through design and evaluation to successful completion. Important findings about kernel properties, formal modelling and design decisions are discussed. The developed formal specification is fully verified and contributes to the pilot project aim of creating a formal kernel model and refining it down to implementation code. Other reusable artefacts, such as general lemmas and a new technique of ensuring transactional properties of operations are defined. The results will be curated within the Verified Software Repository. i Robertai. Aˇci¯u. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr Leo Freitas for his supervision, encouragement and getting me hooked on formal methods.

  • An X86/64 Separation Kernel for High Assurance
    Muen - An x86/64 Separation Kernel for High Assurance Reto Buerki Adrian-Ken Rueegsegger August 29, 2013 University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil (HSR), Switzerland ii Abstract Computer systems are used to store and protect highly sensitive data. At the same time the resources and determination of attackers have increased significantly. Therefore, systems capable of safeguarding critical information must conform to rigorous quality standards to establish trust in the correct functioning. Attaining high assurance for today's monolithic operating systems is exceptionally hard since they tend to be large and include complex functionality. This fact is highlighted by regular security updates provided by operating system vendors. Thus, they are a weak foundation for building secure systems. In contrast, microkernels can be well suited as a basis for systems with strict demands on robustness. They are by definition small, which is a precondition for rigorous verification of correctness. Additionally, they lend themselves to the construction of component-based systems where the incorrect behavior of one partition does not impact the whole system. A separation kernel (SK) is a specialized microkernel that provides an execution environment for multiple components that can only communicate according to a given policy and are otherwise isolated from each other. Hence, the isolation also includes the limitation of potential side- and covert channels. SKs are generally more static and smaller than dynamic microkernels, which minimizes the possibility of kernel failure and should ease the application of formal verification techniques. Recent addition of advanced hardware virtualization support for the Intel x86 architecture has the potential of greatly simplifying the implementation of a separation kernel which can support complex systems.

Security kernels, such as separation kernels, enable constructing high-assurance mixed-criticality execution platforms. They reduce the soft- ware portion of the system’s trusted computing base to a thin layer, which enforces isolation between low- and high-criticality components. The reduced trusted computing base minimizes the system attack surface and facilitates the use of formal methods to ensure functional correctness and security of the kernel. In this thesis, we explore various aspects of building a provably secure separation kernel using virtualization technology. In particular, we examine techniques related to the appropriate management of the memory subsystem. Once these techniques were implemented and functionally verified, they pro- vide reliable a foundation for application scenarios that require strong guar- antees of isolation and facilitate formal reasoning about the system’s overall security. We show how the memory management subsystem can be virtualized to enforce isolation of system components.
