Bioinspired Security Analysis of Wireless Protocols

Bioinspired Security Analysis of Wireless Protocols

Fraglets represent an execution model for communication protocols that resembles the chemical reactions in living organisms. The strong connection between their way of transforming and reacting and formal rewriting systems makes a fraglet program amenable to automatic verification. Grounded on past work, this paper investigates feasibility of adopting fraglets as model for specifying security p...

An Empirical Analysis of Automated Verification of Wireless Security Protocols

Formal verification of security protocols is an important step in the design of security protocols. It helps to reduce the potential of designing faulty protocols and thus increases the confidence in their use. Automated techniques reduce the potential for human errors during verification. This paper presents an empirical study of an automated proving system on the analysis of two wireless comm...

Formal Analysis of Security Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks

Design of security protocols is notoriously error-prone. For this reason, it is required to use formal methods to analyze their security properties. In the paper we present a formal analysis of the Canvas protocol. The Canvas protocol was developed by Harald Vogt and should provide data integrity in Wireless Sensor Networks. However, Dieter Gollmann published an attack on the protocol. We consi...

A Semantic Analysis of Wireless Network Security Protocols

A Calculus for the Analysis of Wireless Network Security Protocols

We propose a timed broadcasting calculus for wireless systems. The operational semantics of our calculus is given both in terms of a Reduction Semantics and in terms of a Labelled Transition Semantics. We prove that the two semantics coincide. The labelled transition system is used to derive a standard notion of (weak) bi-similarity which is proved to be a congruence. We use our simulation theo...
