Popis: This paper studies the security of multi-threaded programs and presents a tool for analyzing quantitative information flow (QIF) for multi-threaded programs written in a core imperative language. The aim of the tool is to measure the leakage of secret data in case a program leaks secret information. The tool is based on a method of the quantitative analysis where an attacker is able to select a scheduling policy to attack the program. The scheduling policy is used to construct the execution model of the program. We outline the workings of the tool and summarize results derived from running the tool on a range of case studies.
