Abstract EN
This article introduces a new method for modelling and verifying the execution of timed security protocols (TSPs) and their time-dependent security properties. The method, which is novel and reliable, uses an extension of interpreted systems, accessible semantics in multi-agent systems, and timed interpreted systems (TISs) with dense time semantics to model TSP executions. We enhance the models of TSPs by incorporating delays and varying lifetimes to capture real-life aspects of protocol executions. To illustrate the method, we model a timed version of the Needham–Schroeder Public Key Authentication Protocol. We have also developed a new bounded model checking reachability algorithm for the proposed structures, based on Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMTs), and implemented it within the tool. The method comprises a new procedure for modelling TSP executions, translating TSPs into TISs, and translating TISs’ reachability problem into the SMT problem. The paper also includes thorough experimental results for nine protocols modelled by TISs and discusses the findings in detail.
