Abstract:
Applied pi calculus is a variant of the pi calculus with extensions for modeling cryptographic protocols. In such a calculus, the security guarantees are usually stated as equivalences. While process calculi provide a natural means to describe the protocols themselves, epistemic logics are often better suited for expressing certain security properties such as secrecy and anonymity. These methods studied in this work to investigation the verification of privacy properties in security protocols. And finally, a new approach is introduced to bridge the gap between these two approaches: using the set of traces generated by a process as models. In this method an epistemic logic has constructs for reasoning about intruder’s epistemic knowledge and the set of messages in possession of the intruder
