DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A PROTOCOL VERIFICATION SYSTEM

In this paper, a design and implementation of an efficient protocol verification system named LOVE has been described. The LOVE has been developed specifically for LOTOS. It performs not only protocol syntax validation (PSV) but also protocol functional verification(PFV). The PSV is a test to check if a protocol is free from protocol syntax errors such as deadlocks and livelocks. The PFV confirms whether or not a protocol achieves its functional objectives. For the PSV, the reachability analysis is employed, and the observational equivalence test is used for the PFV. For protocol verification using the LOVE, a schematic protocol verification methodology has been outlined.
