Assisted Firewall Policy Repair Using Examples and History
Overview Using examples and history mapping, a system administrator can easily identify the two or three critical rules in a rule set that lead to a serious firewall error. Detecting these faults greatly reduces the amount of time an administrator must spend in careful examination of the policy and makes it much easier to manage and maintain a large, restrictive firewall policy. Using counterexamples and witnesses, the system administrator also gains valuable knowledge about the circumstances under which an error occurs. Using rule history with equivalence classes allows the system administrator to quickly and easily detect both errors and faults in the policy without constructing a large number of complicated assertions.
