Abstrakt: Trojan-horses are hard to detect since they pretend normal programs[14]. This paper proposes `SKETHIC (Secure Kernel Extension against Trojan Horses with Information-carrying Codes)΄, an anti-Trojan method based on resource access information attached to codes. This information serves as criteria for users΄ decision on installation of programs and forms access control policies for the runtime monitoring system. Compared to the previous approaches, SKETHIC introduces a way of reducing the users΄ decision-making overhead. To show clearly how it keeps a host secure from Trojans, we describe the mechanism in a formal way. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
