Based on the notion of refinement as safe replacement, the algebra provides operators for sequential composition, union and intersection of policies. The algebra is used to specify and reason about iptables firewall policy configurations. A prototype policy management toolkit has been implemented. %G English %Z TC 11 %Z WG 11.3 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01633676/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01633676/file/428203_1_En_19_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01633676 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01633676 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC11 %~ IFIP-WG11-3 %~ IFIP-DBSEC %~ IFIP-LNCS-9766
