We previously presented a theory of analysis for expressive low-level languages that is capable of proving non-interference for expressive languages. We now provide an independent result for the taint-flow analysis that drives tracking of information. In particular, we show that the taint-tracking can be derived from the results of a taint-free analysis. In addition to improving performance, this independence broadens the applicability of the underlying approach to information-flow analysis.
