Security testing of network applications is an essential task that must be carried out prior to the release of software to the market. Since factors such as time-to-market constraints limit the scope or depth of the testing, it is difficult to carry out exhaustive testing prior to the release of the software. As a consequence, flaws may remain undiscovered by the software vendor, which may be discovered by those of malicious intent. In this paper, we report the results of an empirical evaluation of applying a security testing approach and framework, previously tested in an academic setting, to the Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA R ) protocol as implemented by the IBM R DB2 R Database for Linux R , Unix R , and Windows R product.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
