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.

According to the computerization of railway signalling systems. the communication protocol for interface between these systems are required. Therefore the new communication protocol for railway signaling system is required. Generally, there are two verification method for new designed protocol in the industrial and academic fields. One is the laboratory testing method which is very popular and general technique. In our research the comparison between existing and new designed protocol for signaling is described and the verification test results are also represented. From these laboratory test, we are verified the conformance of new designed protocol. Another method is verified by formal method. The format verification method is widely used at safety-critical system design but this approach is nor popular at verification communication protocol. However it is very important to verify the safety of new designed protocol for railway signaling system because signaling systems are very safety-critical systems. So, the methodology for formal verification of designed protocol is also reviews in this paper.

본 논문에서는 VLSI구현을 위한 CAN 프로토콜 컨트롤러의 최적화된 구조를 제안하였으며, 제안된 구조를 이용하여 VLSI로 구현하였다. 또한 많은 시간이 소요되는 검증의 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 3단계 검증기법을 제안하였으며 이를 통하여 빠른 속도의 검증이 가능하게 되었다. 제안된 구조는 기존의 CAN 프로토콜 컨트롤러보다 적은 사이즈의 게이트 수를 갖고 있을 뿐만 아니라 호스트 프로세서와의 연결이 용이하게 구성되어 있기 때문에 비용 및 효율성에서 장점을 갖고 있고, 제안된 3단계 검증기법은 반복되는 검증의 수를 줄임으로써 최적화된 검증을 수행하도록 구성되어 있기 때문에 빠른 속도의 검증이 가능하다. 설계된 CAN 프로토콜 컨트롤러는 0.35마이크론 CMOS공정을 이용하여 제작되었다.

As a very important part in development of the protocol, verifications for developed protocol specification are complementary techniques that are used to increase the level of confidence in the system functions by their specifications. Using the informal method for specifying the protocol, some ambiguity may be contained therein. This indwelling ambiguity in control systems can cause the occurrence of accidents, especially in the case of safety-critical systems. To clear the vagueness contained in the designed protocol, we use the LTS (Labeled Transition System) model to design the protocol for railway signaling. And then, we verify the safety and the liveness properties formally through the model checking method. The modal ${\mu}$-calculus, which is an expressive method of temporal logic, has been applied to the model checking method. We verify the safety and liveness properties of Korean standard protocol for railway signaling systems. To perform automatic verification of the safety and liveness properties of the designed protocol, a communication verification tool is implemented. The developed tools are implemented by C++ language under Windows XP. It is expected to increase the safety and reliability of communication protocol for signaling systems by using the developed communication verification tool.

It is essential to develop the internetworking strategies between the OBP satellite B-ISDN and the terrestrial B-ISDN for the economical and efficient implementation of the future network infrastructure. We have considered the implementation issues of the emerging B-ISDN, especially interworking strategies of the terrestrial B-ISDN with the OBP satellite B-ISBN. We proposed interworking model between terrestrial B-ISDN and OBP satellite B-ISDN NNI signaling protocol, and describes the design and verification of the interworking protocol. For the verification, interworking protocol is modeled by Predicate/Action Net derived from Petri Net and the designed model is analyzed by reachability tree. Using Unix socket, the verified interworking protocol is implemented in two workstations and implemented interworking protocol is tested by local test method which is outstanding in error detection and recommended by ISO.

The terrestrial/satellite hybrid network may replace or supply the terrestrial network in some areas or certain application. Futhermore, it can play an important role in the development of B-ISDN due to their features of flexible wide coverage, independent of ground distances and geographical constraints, multiple access and multipoint broadcast. Also, satellite have the capability to supply terrestrial ATM and B-ISDN with flexible links for access networks as well as trunk networks. This paper describes the design and verification of the interworking protocol between terrestrial B-ISDN and satellite network. For the verification, the designed interworking protocol is modeled by Petri-net and analyzed by reachability tree.

This paper presents an ARM-based SOC bus transaction verification IP and the usage experiences in SOC designs. The verification IP is an AMBA AHB protocol checker, which captures legal AHB transactions in FSM-style signal sequence checking routines. This checker can be considered as a reusable verification IP since it does not change unless the bus protocol changes. Our AHB protocol checker is designed to be scalable to any number of AHB masters and reusable for various AMBA-based SOC designs. The keys to the scalability and the reusability are Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), virtual port, and bind operation. This paper describes how OOP, virtual port, and bind features are used to implement AHB protocol checker. Using the AHB protocol checker, an AHB simulation monitor is constructed. The monitor checks the legal bus arbitration and detects the first cycle of an AHB transaction. Then it calls AHB protocol checker to check the expected AHB signal sequences. We integrate the AHB bus monitor into Verilog simulation environment to replace time-consuming visual waveform inspection, and it allows us to find design bugs quickly. This paper also discusses AMBA AHB bus transaction coverage metrics and AHB transaction coverage analysis. Test programs for five AHB masters of an SOC, four channel DMAs and a host interface unit are executed and transaction coverage for DMA verification is collected during simulation. These coverage results can be used to determine the weak point of test programs in terms of the number of bus transactions occurred and guide to improve the quality of the test programs. Also, the coverage results can be used to obtain bus utilization statistics since the bus cycles occupied by each AHB master can be obtained.

지금까지의 많은 보안프로토콜들은 비정형화된 설계 및 검증 방법을 통해 개발되었다. 그 결과 유.무선 네트워크 분야에서 보안상 안전하다고 여겨왔던 많은 보안 프로토콜들의 보안 취약점들이 하나둘씩 발견되어오고 있다. 이에 따라, 통신 프로토콜을 개발하기 이전에 설계단계에서부터, 수학적인 기호 및 의미에 바탕을 둔 설계 언어로, 프로토콜의 안전성을 분석하기 위한 정형적 설계 및 검증 방법의 중요성이 점차 증대되고 있다. 현재, 모바일 통신 네트워크의 확산과 더불어 다양한 모바일 프로토콜들이 제안되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 정형적 검증 방법을 이용해서 ASK 모바일 프로토콜의 보안 취약점을 지적한다. 또한, 보안 취약점을 개선한 새로운 ASK 모바일 프로토콜을 제안하고 검증하였다.

SoC 설계의 검증 비용이 전체 설계 비용의 70%를 차지한다. 이런 검증을 위한 노력과 시간을 줄이기 위해서는 SOC 설계 검증 수준을 시그널 수준 또는 사이클 수준에서 트랜잭션 수준으로 높여야 할 필요성이 있으며, 또한 그렇게 하는 것이 바람직하다. 이 논문에서는 인터페이스 신호를 모니터하고, 트랜잭션의 수행을 로그 파일에 기록하고, 트랜잭션 오류를 보고하는 트랜잭션 모니터 모듈의 생성 방법에 대해 기술한다. 인터페이스 프로토콜에 대한 기술을 입력으로 모니터 모듈을 생성한다.

The terrestrial/satellite hybrid network may replace or supply the terrestrial network in some areas or certain applications. For example, it may play a major role in global B-ISDN or in certain areas where the deployment of optical cable is not feasible, especially at the early stage of implementing terrestrial B-ISDN. Furthermore, it can play an important role in the development of B-ISDN due to their features of flexible wide coverage, independent of ground distances and geographical constraints, multiple access and multipoint broadcast. Also, satellite have the capability to supply terrestrial B-ISDN/ATM with flexible links for access networks as well as trunk networks. This paper describes the design and verification of the interworking protocol between terrestrial B-ISDN뭉 satellite network. For the verification, the designed interworking protocol is modeled by Petri-net and the model is analyzed by reachability tree.
