Towards an Independent Semantics and Verification Technology for the HLPSL Specification Language
Alexey Gotsman, Fabio Massacci, Marco Pistore · Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science · 2005
We present an algorithm for the translation of security protocol specifications in the HLPSL language developed in the framework of the AVISPA project to a dialect of the applied pi calculus. This algorithm provides us with two interesting scientific contributions: at first, it provides an independent semantics of the HLPSL specification language and, second, makes it possible to verify protocols specified in HLPSL with the applied pi calculus-based ProVerif tool. Our technique has been implemented and tested on various security protocols. The translation can handle a large part of the protocols modelled in HLPSL.
