Summary on Grant Application Form
The project aims to develop and extend the CSP formalism for the verification of security protocols from a piece of theoretical work whose proof of concept' has been established, to the provision of usable support for the description, development and analysis of real security protocols.The aims of this programme are:- to develop a CSP framework for the specification and description of security protocols. This will provide definitions for different flavours of security property, and provide ways of modelling different security mechanisms.- to provide a uniform approach to the modelling, analysis, verification, and improvement of security protocols. This will develop techniques for protocol description and for verification within the CSP semantic framework.- to provide substantial mechanical assistance for the approach. This will involve the provision of support within the theorem prover PVS for the verification techniques developed.Communications, Computing, Formal methods, Information Security, Secure Communications, Tool Support
