Systematic Detection of State Variable Corruptions in Discrete Event System Specification Based Simulation

摘要

In this letter, we propose a more secure modeling and simulation approach that can systematically detect state variable corruptions caused by buffer overflows in simulation models. Using our approach, developers may not consider secure coding practices related to the corruptions. We have implemented a prototype of the approach based on a modeling and simulation formalism and an open source simulator. Through optimization, the prototype could show better performance, compared to the original simulator, and detect state variable corruptions.
