Fibre Channel Protocol: Formal Specification and Verification
نویسندگان
چکیده
The complexity of the Fibre Channel protocol poses a challenge to design its implementation “right-the-firsttime”. In this work we have investigated the formal specification and mechanical verification of the Fibre Channel Protocol to address issues of correctness. We present abstract models of the FC-2 layer protocols in SpecCharts and the automated verification of a portion of the fibre channel node loop core implementation in a mechanical verification system called PVS. We show that this approach can supplement traditional simulation based approaches to obtain better coverage and confidence during verification.

Web Service Choreography Verification Using Z Formal Specification
Web Service Choreography Description Language (WS-CDL) describes and orchestrates the services interactions among multiple participants. WS-CDL verification is essential since the interactions would lead to mismatches. Existing works verify the messages ordering, the flow of messages, and the expected results from collaborations. In this paper, we present a Z specification of WS-CDL. Besides ve...
متن کاملA model for specification, composition and verification of access control policies and its application to web services
Despite significant advances in the access control domain, requirements of new computational environments like web services still raise new challenges. Lack of appropriate method for specification of access control policies (ACPs), composition, verification and analysis of them have all made the access control in the composition of web services a complicated problem. In this paper, a new indepe...
متن کاملFormal Verification of an Improved Sliding Window Protocol
The well-known Sliding Window protocol caters for the reliable and efficient transmission of data over unreliable channels that can lose, reorder and duplicate messages. Despite the practical importance of the protocol and its high potential for errors, it has never been formally verified for the general setting. We try to fill this gap by giving a fully formal specification and verification of...
متن کاملFormal Specification and Verification of a Narrow Bandwidth Protocol in PVS
The paper presents a protocol for connection-establish service over an extreme-narrow bandwidth channel. The protocol is modeled and verified in a theorem proving system PVS. The PVS formalization and proofs of properties are performed. The execution behaviors of the protocol are modeled by state traces. Inductive methods were used to verify three important properties of the protocol. The three...
متن کاملVerifying Multiparty Call in ATM UNI Signalling Protocol
This paper presents formal specification and verification of the multiparty call in ATM UNI signalling protocol. The protocol specification is written in the CCS process algebra (Calculus of Communicating Systems). Verification is done by using the NCSU-Concurrency Workbench. Due to the complexity of the protocol, the model is decomposed into three components. The protocol is verified by the mo...
