Protocol Composition Logic (PCL) is a logic for proving security properties of network
protocols that use public and symmetric key cryptography. The logic is designed around a …

The IEEE 802.11 i wireless networking protocol provides mutual authentication between a
network access point and user devices prior to user connectivity. The protocol consists of …

We present ASPIER-the first framework that combines software model checking with a
standard protocol security model to automatically analyze authentication and secrecy …

In this paper we consider the problem of securely measuring distance between two nodes in
a wireless sensor network. The problem of measuring distance has fundamental …

We report on the detailed verification of a substantial portion of the Kerberos 5 protocol
specification. Because it targeted a deployed protocol rather than an academic abstraction …

We develop a general method for proving properties of contract-signing protocols using a
specialized protocol logic. The method is applied to the Asokan–Shoup–Waidner and the …

Authentication and secrecy properties are proved by very different methods: the former by
local reasoning, leading to matching knowledge of all principals about the order of their …

This paper presents a formal framework for compositional reasoning about secure systems.
A key insight is to view a trusted system in terms of the interfaces that the various …

Secrecy and authenticity properties of protocols are mutually dependent: every
authentication is based on some secrets, and every secret must be authenticated. This …

In this paper we propose actor-networks as a formal model of computation in heterogenous
networks of computers, humans and their devices, where these new procedures run; and we …
