چکیده

In this paper, we described a experience of using PEPA eclipse plug-in tool to specify a functional-equivalent representation of a non-repudiation protocol. The model is specified using Markovian process algebra PEPA. The basic model suffers from the well known state space explosion problem when tackled using Continues Time Markov Chain analysis. In order to modelling in a scalable way, functional rates has been adopted to avoid a unintended system behaviour. The functional rates have been specified in a CMDL (Chemical Model Definition Language) format which equivalently generated from the PEPA model by PEPA eclipse plug-in. This representation has been converted back to PEPA expression, and analyzed numerically.

Performance Modelling of Optimistic Fair Exchange

In this paper we explore the overhead introduced by secure functions in considering a case study in non-repudiation. We present a model of an optimistic fair exchange protocol specified using the Markovian process algebra PEPA and present results derived using a fluid approximation and stochastic simulation. This system poses an interesting performance problem in that the degree overhead of the...

Practical applications of performance modelling of security protocols using PEPA

Trade-off between security and performance has become an intriguing area in recent years in both the security and performance communities. As the security aspects of security protocol research is fully-fledged, this thesis is therefore devoted to conducting a performance study of these protocols. The long term objective is to translate formal definitions of security protocols to formal performa...

Experiences with the PEPA Performance Modelling Tools

The PEPA language [1] is supported by a suite of modelling tools which assist in the solution and analysis of PEPA models. The design and development of these tools have been influenced by a variety of factors, including the wishes of other users of the tools to use the language for purposes which were not anticipated by the tool designers. In consequence, the suite of PEPA tools has adapted to...
