چکیده

Firewalls are a cornerstone of todays security infrastructure for networks. Their configuration, implementing a firewall policy, is inherently complex, hard to understand, and difficult to validate. We present a substantial case study performed with the model-based testing tool HOL-TestGen. Based on a formal model of firewalls and their policies in higher-order logic (HOL), we first present a derived theory for simplifying policies. We discuss different test plans for test specifications. Finally, we show how to integrate these issues to a domain-specific firewall testing tool HOL-TestGen/fw.

An Environment for Specification-Based Firewall Conformance Testing

The HOL-TestGen environment is conceived as a system for modeling and semi-automated test generation with an emphasis on expressive power and generality. However, its underlying technical framework Isabelle/HOL supports the customization as well as the development of highly automated add-ons working in specific application domains. In this paper, we present HOL-TestGen/fw, an add-on for the tes...

FT-FW: A cluster-based fault-tolerant architecture for stateful firewalls

Nowadays, stateful firewalls are part of the critical infrastructure of the Internet. Basically, they help to protect network services and users against attackers by means of access control and protocol conformance checkings. However, stateful firewalls are problematic from the fault-tolerance perspective since they introduce a single point of failure in the network schema. In this work, we sum...
