“…For example, we can model check the local applet properties by translating, as appropriate, the specifications into CTL (e.g. as input for NuSMV [5]) or LTL (e.g. as input for SPIN [10]), while we can use the modal µ-calculus to prove the correctness of the property decomposition, as this is more suitable for the task.…”

Abstract. Recent developments in mobile code and embedded systems have led to an increased interest in open platforms, i.e. platforms which enable different applications to interact in a dynamic environment. However, the flexibility of open platforms presents major difficulties for the (formal) verification of secure interaction between the different applications. To overcome these difficulties, compositional verification techniques are required. This paper presents a compositional approach to the specification and verification of secure applet interactions. This approach involves a compositional model of the interface behavior of applet interactions, a temporal logic property specification language, and a proof system for proving correctness of property decompositions. The usability of the approach is demonstrated on a realistic smartcard case study.

“…NuSMV is a symbolic model checker originated from the reengineering, reimplementation and extension of SMV, the original BDD-based model checker developed at CMU [15]. The NuSMV project aims at the development of a state-of-the-art symbolic model checker, designed to be applicable in technology transfer projects: it is a well structured, open, flexible and documented platform for model checking, and is robust and close to industrial systems standards [6].…”

“…Which model checker is most suited depends upon the properties of the system being modelled and the requirement being verified. We have implemented an interface to NuSMV [9] and Kronos [10]. Table 3 shows the features of these model checkers.…”

In this paper we define a requirements-level execution semantics for object-oriented statecharts and show how properties of a system specified by these statecharts can be model checked using tool support for model checkers. Our execution semantics is requirements-level because it uses the perfect technology assumption, which abstracts from limitations imposed by an implementation. Statecharts describe object life cycles. Our semantics includes synchronous and asynchronous communication between objects and creation and deletion of objects. Our tool support presents a graphical front-end to model checkers, making these tools usable to people who are not specialists in model checking. The model-checking approach presented in this paper is embedded in an informal but precise method for software requirements and design. We discuss some of our experiences with model checking.
