Hello,
 The document discussing the model, threats and design goals of this
framework can be found at:
https://www.cosic.esat.kuleuven.be/publications/article-1490.pdf

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

regards,
Nikos

PS. The existing (proposed) implementation covers about 90% of the
design goals, the rest are work in progress.
