Packet filtering in firewall either accepts or denies packets based upon a set of predefined rules called firewall policy. In recent years, time-based firewall policies are widely used in many firewalls such as CISCO ACLs. Firewall policy is always designed under the instruction of security policy, which is a generic document that outlines the needs for network access permissions. It is difficult to maintain the consistency of normal firewall policy and security policy, not to mention time-based firewall policy and security policy. Even though there are many analysis methods for security policy and firewall policy, they cannot deal with time constraint. To resolve this problem, we firstly represent time-based security policy and firewall policy as logical formulas, and then use satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) solverZ3to verify them and analyze inconsistency. We have implemented a prototype system to verify our proposed method, experimental results showed the effectiveness.
