    Abstract

    Leakage of confidential information represents a serious security risk.
    Despite a number of novel, theoretical advances, it has been unclear if and how
    quantitative approaches to measuring leakage of confidential information could
    be applied to substantial, real-world programs. This is mostly due to the high
    complexity of computing precise leakage quantities. In this paper, we introduce
    a technique which makes it possible to decide if a program conforms to a
    quantitative policy which scales to large state-spaces with the help of bounded
    model checking.
