A class of relational structures is said to have the extension preservation property if every first-order sentence that is preserved under extensions on the class is equivalent t...
SPKI/SDSI is a language for expressing distributed access control policy, derived from SPKI and SDSI. We provide a first-order logic (FOL) semantics for SDSI, and show that it ha...
