Petri Nets Based Modeling and Analysis of UPnP Security Ceremonies

UPnP is a universal plug and play technology which is widely used in the digital family network. The UPnP security ceremonies expend the UPnP technology to meet the important security requirement. This paper introduces a formal method named the Petri Net, using its advantage such as intuitive graphical representation and rigorous mathematical theory to model the security control of the UPnP security ceremonies. This paper simulates the security control in actual security system, using occurrence step and transition sequence of Petri Net model to analyze the accessibility of model and verify the non-repudiation and security of system.
