Formal Analysis and Verification of a Multimedia Messaging Service Protocol

This paper reports about the formal analysis and verification of a Multimedia Messaging Service Protocol (MMS) used by NOKIA in its products. We started with the Timed Automata models of the MMS protocol, and then we performed verifications by model-checking using the UPPAAL. The Timed Automata models of the MMS were modeled with the UPPAAL's Editor and simulated its trace by UPPAAL's Simulator, and checked its safe property using the UPPAAL's Verifier. And the result reveals the correctness of the system model.
