Abstract

This paper presents a formal approach of formalizing and verifying the Transaction Layer Protocol design in the approved Wireless Application Protocol architecture (WAP Version 2.0). By using the model checker SPIN, we uncover defects in the protocol, which can lead to deadlock and unfaithful refinement of the service definition. A set of desired properties is then verified for the corrected protocol model.
