An Extension to Pi-Calculus for Performance Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pi-Calculus is a formal method for describing and analyzing the behavior of large distributed and concurrent systems. Pi-calculus offers a conceptual framework for describing and analyzing the concurrent systems whose configuration may change during the computation. With all the advantages that pi-calculus offers, it does not provide any methods for performance evaluation of the systems described by it; nevertheless performance is a crucial factor that needs to be considered in designing of a multi-process system. Currently, the available tools for pi-calculus are high level language tools that provide facilities for describing and analyzing systems but there is no practical tool on hand for pi-calculus based performance evaluation. In this paper, the performance evaluation is incorporated with pi-calculus by adding performance primitives and associating performance parameters with each action that takes place internally in a system. By using such parameters, the designers can benchmark multi-process systems and compare the performance of different architectures against one another.

In this paper, a new broadcast encryption scheme is presented based on threshold secret sharing and secure multiparty computation. This scheme is maintained to be dynamic in that a broadcaster can broadcast a message to any of the dynamic groups of users in the system and it is also fair in the sense that no cheater is able to gain an unfair advantage over other users. Another important feature...
متن کاملApplied pi calculus
The applied pi calculus is a language for modelling security protocols. It is an extension of the pi calculus, a language for studying concurrency and process interaction. This chapter presents the applied pi calculus in a tutorial style. It describes reachability, correspondence, and observational equivalence properties, with examples showing how to model secrecy, authentication, and privacy a...
متن کاملA Calculus for Cryptographic Protocols
We introduce the spi calculus, an extension of the pi calculus designed for describing and analyzing cryptographic protocols. We show how to use the spi calculus, particularly for studying authentication protocols. The pi calculus (without extension) suffices for some abstract protocols; the spi calculus enables us to consider cryptographic issues in more detail. We represent protocols as proce...
متن کاملOn Bisimulations for the Spi Calculus
The spi calculus is an extension of the pi calculus with cryptographic primitives, designed for the verification of cryptographic protocols. Due to the extension, the naive adaptation of labeled bisimulations for the pi calculus is too strong to be useful for the purpose of verification. Instead, as a viable alternative, several “environment-sensitive” bisimulations have been proposed. In this ...
