We survey principles of model checking techniques for the automatic analysis of reactive systems. The use of model checking is exemplified by an analysis of the Needham-Schroeder p...
Although there exist several software model checkers that check the code against properties specified e.g. via a temporal logic and assertions, or just verifying low-level propert...
Model checking security protocols is based on an intruder model that represents the eavesdropping or interception of the exchanged messages, while at the same time performs attack...
Abstract. The complexity of distributed algorithms, such as state machine replication, motivates the use of formal methods to assist correctness verification. The design of the for...
Network protocols must work. The effects of protocol specification or implementation errors range from reduced performance, to security breaches, to bringing down entire networks....
