As complexity of real-time embedded software grows, it is desirable to use formal verification techniques to achieve a high level of assurance. We discuss application of model-ch...
Abstract. In this paper we attempt to formally study two very intuitive physical models: sealed envelopes and locked boxes, often used as illustrations for common cryptographic ope...
Abstract. We present a general method to prove security properties of cryptographic protocols against active adversaries, when the messages exchanged by the honest parties are arbi...
The distinction between safety and liveness properties is due to Lamport who gave the following informal characterization. Safety properties assert that nothing bad ever happens w...
Abstract. A concept of annotations for rendering procedural aspects of Prolog is presented, built around wellknown procedural concepts of Standard Prolog. Annotations describe prop...
