Abstract

Checking that a security policy has been correctly deployed over a network is a key issue for system administrators. Since policies are usually expressed by rules, we propose a method to derive tests from a set of rules with a single modality. For each element of our language and each type of rule, we propose a pattern of test, which we call a tile. We then combine those tiles into a test for the whole rule.
