“…Event-B can be regarded as a method for correct-by-construction software development. Event-B has gained widespread attention with it tool support which can be employed to specify different communication protocols as in [11], wireless communication [12], Wireless Sensor Networks [13] or in hybrid encryption technique [14].…”

Formal methods have been applied in the design of a great number of systems. Many protocols have been specified and verified formally. Some protocol standards are even defined by means of a formal method. This paper studies a based formal approach for testing associated properties of Modbus communication protocol with the Event-B Method. Event-B is a formal method for systems modeling, founded on set theory and predicate logic. It has the benefit of mechanized proof, and it is practicable to model a system in various levels of abstraction using refinement. Our aims are constructing a model with a clear and accurate formulation of the protocol properties and discharge all proof obligations. To satisfy these, attentive choice of invariants and machine theorems was important and eased the proof effort. A major focus of our work has been to explore the use of the Event-B method for formally specifying Modbus protocol. The supported language was sufficiently expressive and all proof obligations could be discharged. We reached a good degree of automatic proof. All interactive proofs involved a small number of steps and were straightforward to reach. The result of this approach was that we achieved a very high degree of automatic proof.

The objective of this paper aims at modeling and analysis of communication properties of an E-commerce protocol with the Event-B language. NetBill protocol is developed for selling and buying of information and goods through the Internet. In this approach, we have used Event-B as proof-based development method which integrates proof techniques for writing specifications and building the model systematically using refinement, the key point is to start with a very abstract model of the system under development. Step by step details are added to this first model by building a series of more concrete ones. This strategy eases the proof of the correctness of requirements because only a small number of proof obligations are generated at each step. The aims are constructing a model with a clear and accurate formulation of the communication protocol properties and discharge of all proof obligations. The outcome of this procedure was that we achieved a very high degree of automatic proof. We reached a good degree of automatic proof. All interactive proofs involved a small number of steps and were straightforward to reach.
