SPORE, the Security Protocols Open Repository, is an online library of security protocols with comments and links to papers. Each protocol is downloadable in a variety of formats, including rules for use with automatic protocol verification tools. All protocols are described using BAN logic or the style used by Clark and Jacob, and their goals ...
Cryptographic protocols can sometimes be verified formally on an abstract level. When it is done, there is a necessity to formalize the environment in which the protocol operates in order to identify threats. This is frequently done through the Dolev-Yao model. Logics, concepts and calculi used for formal reasoning of security protocols:
Cryptographic protocols — the communication protocols designed and available to provide computer security assurances using cryptographic mechanisms. Classic assurances include internet protocols for confidentiality and message integrity — and more recent research includes anonymity assurances.
A CPIR (computationally private information retrieval) protocol is similar to a PIR protocol: the receiver retrieves an element chosen by him from the sender's database, so that the sender obtains no knowledge about which element was transferred. [8] The only difference is that privacy is safeguarded against a polynomially bounded sender. [14]
The sender of an encrypted (coded) message shares the decryption (decoding) technique only with the intended recipients to preclude access from adversaries. The cryptography literature often uses the names "Alice" (or "A") for the sender, "Bob" (or "B") for the intended recipient, and "Eve" (or "E") for the eavesdropping adversary. [6]
The Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) defines a wire protocol that has similar functionality to the PKCS#11 API. The two standards were originally developed independently but are now both governed by an OASIS technical committee. It is the stated objective of both the PKCS #11 and KMIP committees to align the standards where ...
In cryptography, the Double Ratchet Algorithm (previously referred to as the Axolotl Ratchet [2] [3]) is a key management algorithm that was developed by Trevor Perrin and Moxie Marlinspike in 2013. It can be used as part of a cryptographic protocol to provide end-to-end encryption for instant messaging .
One of the earliest English texts on cryptography. [1] Ferguson, Niels, and Schneier, Bruce (2003). Practical Cryptography, Wiley, ISBN 0-471-22357-3. A cryptosystem design consideration primer. Covers both algorithms and protocols. This is an in-depth consideration of one cryptographic problem, including paths not taken and some reasons why.
