Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this paper we develop a security verification framework for open source software with a multi-language support. We base our approach on the GCC compiler which is considered as the defacto open source compiler for several languages including C, C++, JAVA, ADA, FORTRAN,etc. To achieve our goal we use a conventional push down system model-checker for reachability properties, and turn it into a fully-fledged verification tool for both low and high level software security properties. We also allow programmers to define a wide range of temporal security properties using an automata-based specification approach. As a result, our approach can model-check large scale software against system-specific security properties.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
