Description
The definitive technical reference to security protocols: mechanisms, roles, vulnerabilities, and design.
- Modeling security properties, protocols, environments, and hostile agents.
- Introduces the Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) mathematical framework for describing and analyzing interactions amongst distributed agents.
- Covers key distribution systems, authentication, integrity, confidentiality, anonymity, non-repudiation, availability, and more.
Peter Ryan initiated a major research program at the UK Defence Research Agency that utilized the Communicating Sequential Processes framework and model checking to analyze SP5. He chairs the Steering Committee of ESORICS, and serves on the Organizing Committee of the IEEE Computer Security Foundations Workshop, and IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy. Steve Schneider has published extensively on concurrency theory and security protocols, and is a member of several conference committees.
