“…In [6], the authors also use a correct-by-construction approach using Event-B to model a secure e-voting system. The authors focus on the recording and the tallying phases to ensure the verifiability of the system using a decomposition pattern and a contextualisation technique.…”

Event-B, a refinement-based formal modelling language, has traditionally focused on safety, but now increasingly finds a new role in developing secure systems. In this paper we take a fresh look at security and focus on what security means for the system rather than looking at detailed protocols. We use Event-B for proving security from an abstract view and refining it towards design details, focusing on the refinement of the availability property of the system. We define a general approach to guarantee the availability of events by ensuring the non-strengthening of their guards, taking into consideration their parameter types. We illustrate our approach using a smart ballot system, an integral part of modern voting systems.

“…Electronic voting systems [6] In Applying a Dependency Mechanism for Voting Protocol Models Using Event-B' [6], the case study presents a method for reusing general concepts from an e-voting domain model in the formal development of specific systems within the same domain. The approach is refinement-based and thus the development is a sequence of models, moving from the abstract to the concrete.…”

A Software Product Line (SPL) is a tool/method used to generate a family of program/system variants for a specific domain, and to support a more efficient software development of future products within the same domain. A Feature Model (FM) is a popular graphical/textual representation used in SPL requirements specification; it is used to capture commonality and variability information existing in an SPL as a set of interrelated and configurable features. A concrete model of an SPL instance is obtained by binding the variation information in the FM with a configuration that meets a specific set of feature requirements. Since configuration decisions are taken prior to instantiation, invalid configurations should be detected/avoided before design begins. This paper addresses the problem of the verification of the correctness (validity) of FM instances and FM configuration during requirements modelling. It proposes a requirements model based on Event-B contexts, allowing us to check the correctness of a given configuration, before starting the correct-by-construction design and implementation process, based on refinement.
