Asynchronous Multiparty Session Type Implementability is Decidable - Lessons Learned from Message Sequence Charts

Authors: Felix Stutz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 263, 37th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2023)


Abstract
Multiparty session types (MSTs) provide efficient means to specify and verify asynchronous message-passing systems. For a global type, which specifies all interactions between roles in a system, the implementability problem asks whether there are local specifications for all roles such that their composition is deadlock-free and generates precisely the specified executions. Decidability of the implementability problem is an open question. We answer it positively for global types with sender-driven choice, which allow a sender to send to different receivers upon branching and a receiver to receive from different senders. To achieve this, we generalise results from the domain of high-level message sequence charts (HMSCs). This connection also allows us to comprehensively investigate how HMSC techniques can be adapted to the MST setting. This comprises techniques to make the problem algorithmically more tractable as well as a variant of implementability that may open new design space for MSTs. Inspired by potential performance benefits, we introduce a generalisation of the implementability problem that we, unfortunately, prove to be undecidable.

Generalising Projection in Asynchronous Multiparty Session Types

Authors: Rupak Majumdar, Madhavan Mukund, Felix Stutz, and Damien Zufferey

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 203, 32nd International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2021)


Abstract
Multiparty session types (MSTs) provide an efficient methodology for specifying and verifying message passing software systems. In the theory of MSTs, a global type specifies the interaction among the roles at the global level. A local specification for each role is generated by projecting from the global type on to the message exchanges it participates in. Whenever a global type can be projected on to each role, the composition of the projections is deadlock free and has exactly the behaviours specified by the global type. The key to the usability of MSTs is the projection operation: a more expressive projection allows more systems to be type-checked but requires a more difficult soundness argument. In this paper, we generalise the standard projection operation in MSTs. This allows us to model and type-check many design patterns in distributed systems, such as load balancing, that are rejected by the standard projection. The key to the new projection is an analysis that tracks causality between messages. Our soundness proof uses novel graph-theoretic techniques from the theory of message-sequence charts. We demonstrate the efficacy of the new projection operation by showing many global types for common patterns that can be projected under our projection but not under the standard projection operation.

Decidable Inductive Invariants for Verification of Cryptographic Protocols with Unbounded Sessions

Authors: Emanuele D'Osualdo and Felix Stutz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 171, 31st International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2020)


Abstract
We develop a theory of decidable inductive invariants for an infinite-state variant of the Applied πcalc, with applications to automatic verification of stateful cryptographic protocols with unbounded sessions/nonces. Since the problem is undecidable in general, we introduce depth-bounded protocols, a strict generalisation of a class from the literature, for which our decidable analysis is sound and complete. Our core contribution is a procedure to check that an invariant is inductive, which implies that every reachable configuration satisfies it. Our invariants can capture security properties like secrecy, can be inferred automatically, and represent an independently checkable certificate of correctness. We provide a prototype implementation and we report on its performance on some textbook examples.
