Abstract

So I’m talking about protocol verification yet again. There are two formal analyses of Yahalom, one of them is a BAN analysis from the original paper and the other one, of course, is mine. Now there are some reactions to this sort of work that I want to dispose of even before I get away from my title slide. The first is, it was all very well doing a couple of protocols but when is it going to stop? And the point I want to make is that some protocols are different from others in a significant way, and that just because this may be the n-th protocol we can still learn things from it. This particular protocol, although very simple, has features which, I think, cause problems with many other methods of protocol analysis. It’s really quite a subtle protocol.
