Software systems are governed by increasingly complex security policies. Ensuring that a system properly enforces its policy is hard. FINE is a new programming language (similar to F#) whose type system can be used to check that rich, stateful authorization and information flow policies are properly enforced. FINE is compiled to DCIL, a new minimal extension of .NET CIL. Our compiler carries type information throughout and allows DCIL programs to be verified independently for security.

In*this video, Juan an Nikhil give the big picture and a shiny demo of FINE.

*The*Research in Software Engineering team (RiSE) coordinates Microsofts research in Software Engineering in Redmond, USA.
