Abstract
This paper illustrates the integration of model checking in SecureMDD, a model-driven approach for the development of security-critical applications. In addition to a formal model for interactive verification as well as executable code, a formal system specification for model checking is generated automatically from a UML model. Model checking is used to find attacks automatically and interactive verification is used by an expert to guarantee security properties. We use AVANTSSAR for model checking and KIV for interactive verification. The integration of AVANTSSAR in SecureMDD and the advantages and disadvantages over interactive verification with KIV are demonstrated with a smart card based electronic ticketing example.
