Research Type Theoretical We formalize the notions of permitted and obligatory announcements in the context of information security... We propose two logics, LPOA and DLPOA, to reason about permitted and obligatory announcements in static and dynamic contexts, respectively. These two logics are completely axiomatized, and we also study generalizations in which the receiver s knowledge is characterized by non-S5 logics. Our paper makes two main contributions to the formalization of permitted and obligatory announcements: First, we clarify the interplay between the sender s permitted and obligatory announcements and the receiver s knowledge. Second, we distinguish between weakly and strongly permitted announcements.

Pseudocode No The paper only contains formal definitions of languages, semantics, and axiomatization schemes. It does not present any structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks describing a computational procedure.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any explicit statement about releasing source code or links to a code repository. The paper focuses on theoretical formalization and axiomatization of logics.
Open Datasets No The paper does not use or refer to any publicly available datasets for experimental evaluation. It uses conceptual examples (e.g., 'plane ticket example', 'website example') to illustrate the theoretical framework, not for empirical analysis.
Dataset Splits No The paper is theoretical and does not involve empirical experiments with datasets; therefore, there is no mention of dataset splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper is theoretical and does not describe experimental work. Therefore, no hardware specifications are provided for running experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper is theoretical and focuses on logical formalizations and axiomatization. It does not describe any implementation or experimental setup that would require specific software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup No The paper is theoretical and does not involve empirical experiments. Therefore, no experimental setup details, such as hyperparameters or training configurations, are provided.
