This paper proposes a firewall specification calculus suited for expressing security policies implemented in distributed firewalls. Our syntax and semantics, inspired from the ambient calculus, allow the specification of filtering rules for both single and distributed configurations. We show how our calculus can be used to address the problem of conflict detection and how our approach facilitates the analysis of the effect that network topologies have on distributed firewall policies.
