Abstract

Verification of security for mobile networks requires specification and verification of security policies in multiple-domain environments. Mobile users present challenges for specification and verification of security policies in such environments. Formal methods are expected to ensure that the construction of a system adheres to its specification. Formal methods for specification and verification of security policies ensure that the security policy is consistent and satisfied by the network elements in a given network configuration. We present a method and a model checking tool for formal specification and verification of location and mobility related security policies for mobile networks. The formal languages used for specification are Predicate Logic and Ambient Calculus. The presented tool is capable of spatial model checking of Ambient Calculus specifications for security policy rules and uses the NuSMV model checker for temporal model checking.
