A method for topology conformance tests under logical constraints

Abstract

Common Criteria(CC) provides only the standard for evaluating information security product or system. Conformance test is considered from a statistical point of view, while the determination of whether the topology is consistent with the standard depends on a conformance test. CC based topology conformance test is in trouble without an effective method. In this paper, a method for topology conformance test was presented and an algorithm for topology conformance test under logical constraints was introduced. In our method, the topology is described by a matrix and the logical constraints are stored using Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) data structure. From the experimental results, we can see the method is efficient enough for topology conformance test.
