Abstract:
This talk is an overview of the Maude-NRL Protocol Analyzer (Maude-NPA) tool developed by Santiago Escobar (Universitat Politècnica de València) in collaboration with José Meseguer (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA) and Catherine Meadows (Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC, USA).Maude-NPA is an automated tool for the analysis and verification of cryptographic protocols using functions that obey different equational theories. This talk shows how to use Maude-NPA, and how it works, and also gives some of the theoretical background behind the tool.
