Abstraction-Carrying Code (ACC) has recently been proposed as a framework for mobile
code safety in which the code supplier provides a program together with an abstraction (or
abstract model of the program) whose validity entails compliance with a predefined safety
policy. The abstraction plays thus the role of safety certificate and its generation is carried
out automatically by a fixpoint analyzer. The advantage of providing a (fixpoint) abstraction
to the code consumer is that its validity is checked in a single pass (ie, one iteration) of an …
