Abstract

The design of security protocols is extremely subtle and is prone to serious faults. Many tools for automatic analysis of such protocols have been developed. However, none of them have the ability to model protocols that use explicit randomization. Such randomized protocols are being increasingly used in systems to provide privacy and anonymity guarantees. In this talk we consider the problem of automatic verification of randomized security protocols. We consider verification of secrecy and indistinguishability properties under a powerful threat model of Dolev-Yao adversary. We present some complexity bounds on verification of these properties. We also describe practical algorithms for checking indistinguishability. These algorithms have been implemented in the tool SPAN and have been experimentally evaluated. The talk concludes with future challenges. (Joint work with: Matt Bauer, Rohit Chadha and Mahesh Viswanathan)
