Abstract

Industrial and critical infrastructure devices should be scrutinized with rigorous methods for inconsistencies with a specification. At the same time, this specification should also be correct, otherwise the specification conformance is of little value. On the example of eMRTDs (electronic Machine-Readable Travel Documents) we demonstrate an approach that combines model-checking a specification for correctness in terms of security with learning an implementation model using automata learning. Once the specification is modeled, we automatically mine a model of the implementation and check the model for compliance with the verified specification using simulation and trace preorder. Underspecification of the standard is in this setting modeled as non-deterministic behavior, so one of the possibilities has to simulate the implementation in order for the latter to be compliant. We also present a working tool chain realizing this method. When adopting the tool chain accordingly, the method might be used in practice for checking the correctness of any reactive system.
