Abstract

There are still not qualitative analyzing methods to analyze EPC network entity threats. So the Attack Graph theory is brought in this paper. The current Attack Graph techniques have been adjusted due to the difference of EPC network and EPC network attack, so that they can be used to analyze the threats of EPC network entities. A Finite State Machine (FSM) represented the EPC net work is built and a method for automatically generating EPC network Attack Graph is proposed which are all validated through following experiments. The result shows that, the Attack Graph analyzing method can well serve EPC- entity-threat qualitative analysis.
