IFC is a mechanism that enforces security policies by tracking and controlling the flow of information within a system. Unlike discretionary access control (such as UNIX file permissions), IFC permits scenarios in which untrusted computation may have the ability to manipulate secret data without having the ability to further disclose that data. . LIO is an IFC library that can be used to implement such untrusted computations. LIO provides combinators similar to those of 'IO' for performing side-effecting computations (e.g., modifying mutable references, forking threads, throwing and catching exceptions, etc.) To track and control the flow of information, LIO associates a security policy, called a /label/, with every piece of data. A label may, for example, impose a restriction on who can observe, propagate, or modify the data to which it applies. Unlike standard IO operations, the LIO counterparts check the vailidity of labels before performing the (underlying IO) side-effecting computation. For example, before writing to a labeled variable, LIO asserts that the write will not violate any security policies associated with the data to be written. . Most code should import module "LIO" and whichever label format the application is using (e.g., "LIO.DCLabel" to use the format that ships with the library). Side-effecting code should be specified as actions in the 'LIO' monad. See "LIO.Core" for a description of the core library API, "LIO.Label" for a discussion of labels, and "LIO.Run" for functions allowing one to run an 'LIO' computation from the 'IO' monad. . WARNING: For security, untrusted code must always be compiled with the @-XSafe@ and @-fpackage-trust@ /SafeHaskell/ flags. See for more details on the guarantees provided by SafeHaskell.
