What is Scoll (and Scollar) ?

Scoll is a tool-based approach to help design and develop secure programs. It involves:

• a declarative language to express safety problems that are relevant to software developers: "Safe collaboration language".
• a tool to solve these problems: Scollar
• a datalog based formalism "KBM" (Knowledge Behavior Models) gives Scoll its formal semantics

Scoll is an Open Source Project
