Describing and reasoning about asynchronous distributed systems is often a difficult and error prone task. In this paper we experiment the Input/Output Automata framework as a tool to describe and reason about cryptographic protocols running in an asynchronous distributed system. We examine a simple certified email protocol [5], give its formalization using the IOA model, and prove that some security properties are satisfied during the execution of the protocol.

Abstract

Describing and reasoning about asynchronous distributed systems is often a difficult and error prone task. In this paper we experiment the Input/Output Automata framework as a tool to describe and reason about cryptographic protocols running in an asynchronous distributed system. We examine a simple certified email protocol [5], give its formalization using the IOA model, and prove that some security properties are satisfied during the execution of the protocol.
