Mechanical Proofs about a Non-repudiation Protocol

چکیده
A non-repudiation protocol of Zhou and Gollmann [18] has been mechanically verified. A non-repudiation protocol gives each party evidence that the other party indeed participated, evidence sufficient to present to a judge in the event of a dispute. We use the theorem-prover Isabelle [10] and model the security protocol by an inductive definition, as described elsewhere [1, 12]. We prove the protocol goals of validity of evidence and of fairness using simple strategies. A typical theorem states that a given piece of evidence can only exist if a specific event took place involving the other party.

An efficient non-repudiation billing protocol in heterogeneous 3G-WLAN networks
The wireless communication with delivering variety of services to users is growing rapidly in recent years. The third generation of cellular networks (3G), and local wireless networks (WLAN) are the two widely used technologies in wireless networks. 3G networks have the capability of covering a vast area; while, WLAN networks provide higher transmission rates with less coverage. Since the two n...
متن کاملAutomatic Methods for Analyzing Non-repudiation Protocols with an Active Intruder
Non-repudiation protocols have an important role in many areas where secured transactions with proofs of participation are necessary. Formal methods are clever and without error, therefore using them for verifying such protocols is crucial. In this purpose, we show how to partially represent non-repudiation as a combination of authentications on the Fair Zhou-Gollmann protocol. After discussing...
متن کاملA Provable Billing Protocol on the Current UMTS
This paper proposes a simple method that equips UMTS-based telecom companies with a mechanism to prove the records on mobile users’ phone bills. In the history of mobile phone communication, we have seen countless unsettled disputes where the mobile user disagrees with the telecom company either on the calling time or on the duration, or even on whether or not a call was actually made. In this ...
متن کاملA Multi-party Optimistic Non-repudiation Protocol
In this paper we consider the optimistic approach of the non-repudiation protocols. We study a non-repudiation protocol with off-line trusted third party and we keep on with the definition of the multi-party non-repudiation, compare it to multi-party fair exchange and show some fundamental differences between these two problems. Finally, we generalize our protocol and propose a multi-party non-...

Non-repudiation Protocols. During the last decade open networks, above all the Internet, have known an impressive growth. As a consequence, new security issues, like non-repudiation have to be considered. Repudiation is de ned as the denial of an entity of having participated in all or part of a communication. Consider for instance the following scenario: Alice wants to send a message to Bob; a...
