Computationally Sound Mechanized Proofs of Correspondence Assertions
Bruno Blanchet
Abstract
We present a new mechanized prover for showing correspondence assertions for cryptographic protocols in the computational model. Correspondence assertions are useful in particular for establishing authentication. Our technique produces proofs by sequences of games, as standard in cryptography. These proofs are valid for a number of sessions polynomial in the security parameter, in the presence of an active adversary. Our technique can handle a wide variety of cryptographic primitives, including shared- and public-key encryption, signatures, message authentication codes, and hash functions. It has been implemented in the tool CryptoVerif and successfully tested on examples from the literature.
Note: This is the full version of the paper. Compared to the conference version, this version adds appendices, which contain details on the semantics of the calculus, the proof engine we use for reasoning on games, the proofs of our results, and our experiments. Version 2 fixes Definition 4, updates Definition 2 to use the same notations, and provides other minor updates.
