Abstract
A system and method for certifying software for essential and security-critical systems. The system and method provide a methodology and corresponding analysis engines increase the level of confidence that common vulnerabilities are not present in a particular application. A pipeline system consisting of independent modules which involve increasingly complex analysis is disclosed. The pipeline approach allows the user to reduce computation time by focusing resources on only those code segments which were not eliminated previously in the pipeline.
