Abstract. Hyperproperties are system-wide properties (rather than the property

of individual execution traces). They allow dealing with important information-flow

security policies (e.g., non-interference), consistency models in concurrent

computing (e.g., linearizability), and robustness models in cyber-physical systems.

In this talk, we will discuss our recent results on bounded model checking for the

temporal logics HyperLTL and A-HLTL and the accompanied tool HyperQB. We will also

show the application of our results in verification of several prominent information-flow

security and consistency in concurrent systems.
