Verification of State-Based Opacity Using Petri Nets
A system is said to be opaque if a given secret behavior remains opaque (uncertain) to an intruder who can partially observe system activities. This work addresses the verification of state-based opacity in systems modeled with Petri nets. The secret behavior of a system is defined as a set of states. More precisely, two state-based opacity properties are considered: current-state opacity and initial-state opacity. We show that both current-state and initial-state opacity problems in bounded Petri nets can be efficiently solved by using a compact representation of the reachability graph, called basis reachability graph (BRG). This approach is practically efficient since the exhaustive enumeration of the reachability space can be avoided.
