Integration of the Static Analysis Results Interchange Format in CogniCrypt

Abstract

Background - Software companies increasingly rely on static analysis tools to detect potential bugs and security vulnerabilities in their software products. In the past decade, more and more commercial and open-source static analysis tools have been developed and are maintained. Each tool comes with its own reporting format, preventing an easy integration of multiple analysis tools in a single interface, such as the Static Analysis Server Protocol (SASP). In 2017, a collaborative effort in industry, including Microsoft and GrammaTech, has proposed the Static Analysis Results Interchange Format (SARIF) to address this issue. SARIF is a standardized format in which static analysis warnings can be encoded, to allow the import and export of analysis reports between different tools. Purpose - This paper explains the SARIF format through examples and presents a proof of concept of the connector that allows the static analysis tool CogniCrypt to generate and export its results in SARIF format. Design/Approach - We conduct a cross-sectional study between the SARIF format and CogniCrypt's output format before detailing the implementation of the connector. The study aims to find the components of interest in CogniCrypt that the SARIF export module can complete. Originality/Value - The integration of SARIF into CogniCrypt described in this paper can be reused to integrate SARIF into other static analysis tools. Conclusion - After detailing the SARIF format, we present an initial implementation to integrate SARIF into CogniCrypt. After taking advantage of all the features provided by SARIF, CogniCrypt will be able to support SASP.

Expressive power of one-shot control operators and coroutines

Control operators, such as exceptions and effect handlers, provide a means of representing computational effects in programs abstractly and modularly. While most theoretical studies have focused on multi-shot control operators, one-shot control operators---which restrict the use of captured continuations to at most once---are gaining attention for their balance between expressiveness and efficiency. This study aims to fill the gap. We present a mathematically rigorous comparison of the expressive power among one-shot control operators, including effect handlers, delimited continuations, and even asymmetric coroutines. Following previous studies on multi-shot control operators, we adopt Felleisen's macro-expressiveness as our measure of expressiveness. We verify the folklore that one-shot effect handlers and one-shot delimited-control operators can be macro-expressed by asymmetric coroutines, but not vice versa. We explain why a previous informal argument fails, and how to revise it to make a valid macro-translation.

Authorization Revocation for Long-Running AI Agents: Root-Scoped Quiescence under Delegation and Asynchronous Execution

Long-running AI agents outlive initiating processes through credentials, delegated tasks, queues, callbacks, reservations, and provider-side operations. Cancellation, process exit, and credential revocation neither close every pre-cut carrier nor distinguish independently authorized shared work. We define root-scoped authorization quiescence: for each manifested sink, a certificate accounts for every cut-relevant acceptance under the retired root-epoch atom that precedes its local fence and excludes protected acceptance under that atom after the fence, while permitting exact rebind to a current, independently sufficient support. The root-scoped quiescence protocol linearizes a root cut, fences old-root expansion and protected sinks, represents alternative and conjunctive authority as antichains of minimal sufficient root sets, and composes provider-frontier certificates into a cutset over registered old-root paths. Exact channel-token accounting reconciles transfers; missing or conflicting evidence remains indeterminate. Under stated assumptions, we prove post-cut issuer non-expansion, support-sound projection, compositional soundness under exact channel conservation, independent-support preservation, merge-order independence, and crash/replay stability. A provider-free late-effect test suite matches 17/17 registered outcomes. Two cancellation-only and one cut-only execution accept the same class of already scheduled late effect; two cut-plus-fence executions, one restart, and one stale-process execution reject it. A separately implemented checker verifies 17/17 traces and rejects 44/44 consistently rehashed semantic regressions. The certificate establishes root-relative authorization quiescence within its bound manifest and configuration, not global idleness, rollback, or business completion.

Soda: An Object-Oriented Functional Language for Specifying Human-Centered Problems

We present Soda (Symbolic Objective Descriptive Analysis), a language that helps to treat qualities and quantities in a natural way and greatly simplifies the task of checking correctness. We present key properties for the language motivated by the design of a descriptive language to encode complex requirements on computer systems, and we explain how these key properties must be addressed to model these requirements with simple definitions. We give an overview of a tool that helps to describe problems in an easy way, which we consider more transparent and less error-prone.
