Computer-aided cryptography is an active area of research that develops and applies
formal, machine-checkable approaches to the design, analysis, and implementation of …

Automated formal verification of security protocols has been mostly focused on analyzing
high-level abstract models which, however, are significantly different from real protocol …

TLS was designed as a transparent channel abstraction to allow developers with no
cryptographic expertise to protect their application against attackers that may control some …

TLS is possibly the most used protocol for secure communications, with a 18-year history of
flaws and fixes, ranging from its protocol logic to its cryptographic design, and from the …

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is currently developing the next version of the
Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, version 1.3. The transparency of this …

Distributed applications are difficult to program reliably and securely. Dependently typed
functional languages promise to prevent broad classes of errors and vulnerabilities, and to …

QUIC is a secure transport protocol developed by Google and implemented in Chrome in
2013, currently representing one of the most promising solutions to decreasing latency while …

Abstract We present the Foundational Cryptography Framework (FCF) for developing and
checking complete proofs of security for cryptographic schemes within a proof assistant. This …

The record layer is the main bridge between TLS applications and internal sub-protocols. Its
core functionality is an elaborate form of authenticated encryption: streams of messages for …

Computationally sound protocol verification tools promise to deliver full-strength
cryptographic proofs for security protocols. Unfortunately, current tools lack either modularity …
