Automated refinement of security protocols
Anders Moen Hagalisletto · 2006
The design of security protocols is usually performed manually by pen and paper, by experts in security. Assumptions are rarely specified explicitly. We present a new way to approach security specification: The protocol is refined fully automated into a specification that contains assumptions sufficient to execute the protocol. As a result, the protocol designer using our method does not have to be a security expert to design a protocol, and can learn immediately how the protocol should work in practice.
