We present initial results on a comprehensive model of structured
communications, in which self- adaptation and security concerns are jointly
addressed. More specifically, we propose a model of self-adaptive, multiparty
communications with secure information flow guarantees. In this model, security
violations occur when processes attempt to read or write messages of
inappropriate security levels within directed exchanges. Such violations
trigger adaptation mechanisms that prevent the violations to occur and/or to
propagate their effect in the choreography. Our model is equipped with local
and global mechanisms for reacting to security violations; type soundness
results ensure that global protocols are still correctly executed, while the
system adapts itself to preserve security.Comment: In Proceedings BEAT 2014, arXiv:1408.556
