Rewriting Techniques in the Constraint Solver
Jonathan K. Millen · Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science · 2009
The constraint solver is a symbolic cryptographic protocol security analysis tool that is based on a unique term rewriting approach. Several of the design characteristics of this tool, and the reasons for them, are discussed and placed in perspective with other approaches. The constraint solver uses a free message algebra and a bounded-process network model with a Dolev-Yao attacker. These choices yield simplicity and decidability.
