Abstract: "This paper reviews two relatively new tools for automated formal analysis of security protocols. One applies the formal methods technique of model checking to the task of protocol analysis, while the other utilizes the method of theory generation, which borrows from both model checking and automated theorem proving. For purposes of comparison, the tools are both applied to a suite of sample protocols with known flaws, including the protocol used in an earlier study to provide a baseline. We then suggest a heuristic for combining the two approaches to provide a more complete analysis than either approach can provide alone."
FOSAD has been one of the foremost educational events established with the goal of disseminating knowledge in the critical area of security in computer systems and networks. Over the years, both the summer school and the book series have represented a reference point for graduate students and young researchers from academia or industry, interested to approach the field, investigate open problems, and follow priority lines of research. This book presents thoroughly revised versions of nine tutorial lectures given by leading researchers during three International Schools on Foundations of Security Analysis and Design, FOSAD, held in Bertinoro, Italy, in September 2012 and 2013. The topics covered in this book include model-based security, automatic verification of secure applications, information flow analysis, cryptographic voting systems, encryption in the cloud, and privacy preservation.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the Joint Workshop on Automated Reasoning for Security Protocol Analysis and Issues in the Theory of Security held in Paphos, Cyprus, in March 2010.
Model checking is a powerful approach for the formal verification of software. It automatically provides complete proofs of correctness, or explains, via counter-examples, why a system is not correct. Here, the author provides a well written and basic introduction to the new technique. The first part describes in simple terms the theoretical basis of model checking: transition systems as a formal model of systems, temporal logic as a formal language for behavioral properties, and model-checking algorithms. The second part explains how to write rich and structured temporal logic specifications in practice, while the third part surveys some of the major model checkers available.

Abstract: "As more resources are added to computer networks, and as more vendors look to the world wide web as a viable marketplace, the importance of being able to restrict access and to ensure some kind of acceptable behavior, even in the presence of malicious adversaries, becomes paramount. Many researchers have proposed the use of security protocols to provide these security guarantees. In this thesis, I describe a method of verifying these protocols using a special purpose model checker, BRUTUS, which performs an exhaustive state space search of a protocol model. This tool also includes a natural deduction style derivation engine which models the capabilities of an adversary trying to attack the protocol. Since the models are necessarily abstractions, one cannot prove a protocol correct. However, the tool is extremely useful as a debugger. I have used this tool to analyze fifteen different security protocols, and have found the previously reported attacks for them. The common limitation for model checking is the state explosion problem. This is particularly true of models in BRUTUS because they are composed of multiple components that are executing concurrently. The traces of the system are defined by an interleaved execution. For this reason, I implemented two well known state reduction techniques in BRUTUS. The first technique exploits the symmetry due to replicated components. The second reduction technique is called the partial order reduction. This technique exploits the fact that the relative order of certain pairs of actions is immaterial to the overall correctness of the model. This means that it is not always necessary to explore all possible interleavings of actions when performing the analysis. It is also of interest that in the case of security protocol verification, the partial order reduction technique can be generalized so that an even greater reduction is achieved. This thesis describes how these reductions are implemented in BRUTUS, how they improve the efficiency of the model checker, and how they apply to model checking of security protocols in general."
This volume presents the refereed proceedings from the 14th International Symposium on Static Analysis. The papers address all aspects of static analysis, including abstract domains, abstract interpretation, abstract testing, compiler optimizations, control flow analysis, data flow analysis, model checking, program specialization, security analysis, theoretical analysis frameworks, type-based analysis, and verification systems.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second Mext-NSF-JSPS Interntional Symposium on Software Security, ISSS 2003, held in Tokyo, Japan in November 2003. The 18 revised full invited and selected papers presented were carefully reviewed and improved for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on analysis of protocols and cryptography, verification of security properties, safe implementation of programming languages, secure execution environments, and secure systems and security management.
