Comment on ‘A Framework for Modelling Trojans and Computer Virus Infection’

Erkki Mäkinen1

1 Department of Computer and Information Sciences, P.O. Box 607, FIN-33014 University of Tampere, Finland Email: em@cs.uta.fi

We (re-)introduce a Turing machine model for computer viruses. Despite the recent criticism of Turing machine models, they enjoy important advantages: their well-known notation and rich theory make them easy to understand and to elaborate. For many natural problems concerning computer viruses, e.g. for various decidability problems, Turing machine models provide a suitable platform of research.

Received 24 November, 1999. Revised 19 February, 2001.
