Abstract
Algebraic specification languages are formal methods that provide a rigorous basis for modeling of several systems. Security protocols are safety critical systems that need to be verified before their implementation. In this paper we have formally specified sensor network encryption protocol (SNEP) and a key agreement protocol for sensor networks, both from the SPINS protocol suite, with the OTS/CafeOBJ method, a well known formal specification technique applied not only in research, but also in industry. Based on this specification, we have proved that each protocol possesses an important safety(invariant) property.
