Research on security testing of information system based on interface communication

This paper firstly analyzes the security problems which the information systems are facing such as network attacks and attacks by use of communication protocol. Then it proposes a security testing platform basing on interface communication protocols in the light of the characteristics of the communication in information systems. It describes in detail the implementation of this platform. With this method, one can designs test cases to test the security of an information system according to its communication protocol of the hardware interfaces, which can satisfy different requirements of security testing of information systems.
