Abstract
A theory of security that is based on specification languages for communicating processes and the formal testing semantics for such languages is developed. The DeNicola-Hennessy theory of testing semantics for processes as presented by M. Hennessy (Algebraic Theory of Processes, MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 1988) is reviewed in some detail. The theory is then applied to the analysis of certain information flows
