This paper presents an introduction to computer-aided theorem proving and a new approach using parallel processing to increase power and speed of computation. Automated theorem provers, along with human interpretation, have been shown to be powerful tools in verifying and validating computer software. Destiny, while still in developmental stages, has shown promise for deeper and more powerful a...

Outside of SSL, Notes/Domino, and federal PKIs, PK cryptography hasn't caught on. SSL is hugely successful in providing network protection. But its server authentication feature is currently useless in phishing attacks, and its client authentication is largely unused. A number of user studies indicate that while some subset of users know about and notice "the padlock", few know what it really i...
