As wireless sensor network is resource-constrained, reliability and security of broadcasted data become major issue in these types of network. In order to overcome security and integrity issues, a secure authentication and integrity technique is proposed. In this technique, shared keys are used for providing authentication. Here, mutual authentication technique allows the sender and recipient to share a common key matrix as an authentication key. Both sender and recipient chose a random noise matrix and verification is done based on hamming weight. To increase authentication and integrity, a hybrid offline and online signcryption technique is proposed which is a cryptographic method that satisfies both the function of digital signature and public key encryption in a logical single step. By simulation results, we show that the proposed technique provides security in terms of increased packet delivery ratio and reduced compromised communications.
Background: Static verification is a sound programming methodology that permits automated reasoning about the correctness of an implementation with respect to its formal specification before its execution. Unified Modelling Language is most commonly used modelling language which describes the client’s requirement. Object Constraint Language is a formal language which allows users to express textual constraints regarding the UML model. Therefore, UML/OCL express formal specification and helps the developers to implement the code according to the client’s requirement through software design. Objective: This paper aims to compare the existing approaches generating Java, C++, C# code or JML, Spec# specifications from UML/OCL. Methods: Nowadays, software system is developed via automatic code generation from software design to implementation when using formal specification and static analysis. In this paper, the study considers transformation from design to implementation and vice versa using model transformation, code generation or other techniques. Results: The related tools, which generate codes, do not support verification at the implementation phase. On the other hand, the specification generation tools do not generate all the required properties which are needed for verification at the implementation phase. Conclusion: If the generated system supports the verification with all required properties, code developer needs less efforts to produce correct software system. Therefore, this study recommends introducing a new framework which can act as an interface between design and implementation to generate verified software systems.
Background: In model-driven development, model transformation transforms one model to another between different phases of software engineering. In model transformation, metamodel plays a vital role which defines the abstract syntax of models and the interrelationship between their elements. A unified metamodel defines an abstract syntax for both source and target models when they share core elements. Theoretical approaches define language and platform independent representation of models in software engineering. This paper investigates the theoretical foundation to this unified meta-modelling for their consistent transformation. Objective: This paper aims to define the formal foundations to the unified metamodel for generating implementation from design specifications and model reusability. Method: In this paper, the study considers transformation from design to implementation and vice versa using theoretical foundations to build a verified software system. Results: The related tools provide a formal representation of the design phase for verification purpose. Our approach provides a set-theoretical foundation to the unified metamodel for model transformation from USE (UML/OCL) to Spec#. In other words, our approach defines the formal foundation to define a model which consists of all the required properties for verification at the design and implementation phase. Conclusion: This paper introduced a new set of the theoretical framework which acts as an interface between the design and implementation to generate verified software systems.
