Disintegration Temporal Logic for Probabilistic Hyperproperties

Mishel Carelli, Bernd Finkbeiner

We introduce Disintegration Temporal Logic (DTL), a new probabilistic temporal logic that can express a wide range of probabilistic hyperproperties, including probabilistic non-int…

Less Effort, Shorter Proofs: Reinforcement Learning for Security Protocol Analysis in Tamarin

Matthias Cosler, Cas Cremers, Bernd Finkbeiner +2

Tools like Tamarin and ProVerif have achieved notable success in analyzing and verifying complex real-world protocols such as EMV, 5G, and WPA2, even detecting zero-day exploits. D…

Complexity of Model Checking Second-Order Hyperproperties on Finite Structures

Bernd Finkbeiner, Hadar Frenkel, Tim Rohde

We study the model checking problem of Hyper2LTL over finite structures. Hyper2LTL is a second-order hyperlogic, that extends the well-studied logic HyperLTL by adding quantificati…

Verifying Asynchronous Hyperproperties in Reactive Systems

Raven Beutner, Bernd Finkbeiner

Hyperproperties are system properties that relate multiple execution traces and commonly occur when specifying information-flow and security policies. Logics like HyperLTL utilize…

Checking Satisfiability of Hyperproperties using First-Order Logic

Raven Beutner, Bernd Finkbeiner

Hyperproperties are system properties that relate multiple execution traces and occur, e.g., when specifying security and information-flow properties. Checking if a hyperproperty i…

On Conformant Planning and Model-Checking of Hyperproperties

Raven Beutner, Bernd Finkbeiner

We study the connection of two problems within the planning and verification community: Conformant planning and model-checking of hyperproperties. Conformant planning is the task o…

Explainability Requirements as Hyperproperties

Bernd Finkbeiner, Julian Siber

Explainability is emerging as a key requirement for autonomous systems. While many works have focused on what constitutes a valid explanation, few have considered formalizing expla…

Strategy Logic, Imperfect Information, and Hyperproperties

Raven Beutner, Bernd Finkbeiner

Strategy logic (SL) is a powerful temporal logic that enables first-class reasoning over strategic behavior in multi-agent systems (MAS). In many MASs, the agents (and their strate…

On Hyperproperty Verification, Quantifier Alternations, and Games under Partial Information

Raven Beutner, Bernd Finkbeiner

Hyperproperties generalize traditional trace properties by relating multiple execution traces rather than reasoning about individual runs in isolation. They provide a unified way t…

Learning Representations Through Contrastive Neural Model Checking

Vladimir Krsmanovic, Matthias Cosler, Mohamed Ghanem +1

Model checking is a key technique for verifying safety-critical systems against formal specifications, where recent applications of deep learning have shown promise. However, while…

An Information-Flow Perspective on Explainability Requirements: Specification and Verification

Bernd Finkbeiner, Hadar Frenkel, Julian Siber

Explainable systems expose information about why certain observed effects are happening to the agents interacting with them. We argue that this constitutes a positive flow of infor…

Closure and Complexity of Temporal Causality

Mishel Carelli, Bernd Finkbeiner, Julian Siber

Temporal causality defines what property causes some observed temporal behavior (the effect) in a given computation, based on a counterfactual analysis of similar computations. In…

Visualizing Game-Based Certificates for Hyperproperty Verification

Raven Beutner, Bernd Finkbeiner, Angelina Göbl

Hyperproperties relate multiple executions of a system and are commonly used to specify security and information-flow policies. While many verification approaches for hyperproperti…

Counterfactual Explanations for MITL Violations

Bernd Finkbeiner, Felix Jahn, Julian Siber

MITL is a temporal logic that facilitates the verification of real-time systems by expressing the critical timing constraints placed on these systems. MITL specifications can be ch…

Syntax-Guided Automated Program Repair for Hyperproperties

Raven Beutner, Tzu-Han Hsu, Borzoo Bonakdarpour +1

We study the problem of automatically repairing infinite-state software programs w.r.t. temporal hyperproperties. As a first step, we present a repair approach for the temporal log…

Non-Deterministic Planning for Hyperproperty Verification

Raven Beutner, Bernd Finkbeiner

Non-deterministic planning aims to find a policy that achieves a given objective in an environment where actions have uncertain effects, and the agent - potentially - only observes…

Synthesis of Temporal Causality

Bernd Finkbeiner, Hadar Frenkel, Niklas Metzger +1

We present an automata-based algorithm to synthesize omega-regular causes for omega-regular effects on executions of a reactive system, such as counterexamples uncovered by a model…

Monitoring Second-Order Hyperproperties

Raven Beutner, Bernd Finkbeiner, Hadar Frenkel +1

Hyperproperties express the relationship between multiple executions of a system. This is needed in many AI-related fields, such as knowledge representation and planning, to captur…
