When building a software system out of software components, the composition is not simple because of the complexity caused by diverse versions, digital signatures, static type information, and off-the-shelf components from various vendors. Well-established linking policies are one of the best solutions to solve the complexity problem at linking time. Secure Linking (SL) enables users to specify their linking policies which can be enforced at link time. Secure Linking framework is a framework based on a higher-order logic in order to help build a SL system. This paper shows that the Secure Linking logic is expressive enough to describe a real-world component composition system, the linking protocol of.NET. The paper also demonstrates the advantage of the logic-based linking framework by discussing the weakness of the code signing protocol in.NET which was found while we encoded the assembly linking system of.NET.
