Advanced Features in Protocol Verification: Theory, Properties, and Efficiency in Maude-NPASantiago Pinazo, Sonia 31 March 2015 (has links)
The area of formal analysis of cryptographic protocols has been an active
one since the mid 80’s. The idea is to verify communication protocols
that use encryption to guarantee secrecy and that use authentication of
data to ensure security. Formal methods are used in protocol analysis to
provide formal proofs of security, and to uncover bugs and security flaws
that in some cases had remained unknown long after the original protocol
publication, such as the case of the well known Needham-Schroeder
Public Key (NSPK) protocol. In this thesis we tackle problems regarding
the three main pillars of protocol verification: modelling capabilities,
verifiable properties, and efficiency.
This thesis is devoted to investigate advanced features in the analysis
of cryptographic protocols tailored to the Maude-NPA tool. This tool
is a model-checker for cryptographic protocol analysis that allows for
the incorporation of different equational theories and operates in the
unbounded session model without the use of data or control abstraction.
An important contribution of this thesis is relative to theoretical aspects
of protocol verification in Maude-NPA. First, we define a forwards
operational semantics, using rewriting logic as the theoretical framework
and the Maude programming language as tool support. This is the first
time that a forwards rewriting-based semantics is given for Maude-NPA.
Second, we also study the problem that arises in cryptographic protocol
analysis when it is necessary to guarantee that certain terms generated
during a state exploration are in normal form with respect to the protocol
equational theory.
We also study techniques to extend Maude-NPA capabilities to support
the verification of a wider class of protocols and security properties.
First, we present a framework to specify and verify sequential protocol
compositions in which one or more child protocols make use of information obtained from running a parent protocol. Second, we present a
theoretical framework to specify and verify protocol indistinguishability
in Maude-NPA. This kind of properties aim to verify that an attacker
cannot distinguish between two versions of a protocol: for example, one
using one secret and one using another, as it happens in electronic voting
protocols.
Finally, this thesis contributes to improve the efficiency of protocol
verification in Maude-NPA. We define several techniques which drastically
reduce the state space, and can often yield a finite state space,
so that whether the desired security property holds or not can in fact
be decided automatically, in spite of the general undecidability of such
problems. / Santiago Pinazo, S. (2015). Advanced Features in Protocol Verification: Theory, Properties, and Efficiency in Maude-NPA [Tesis doctoral no publicada]. Universitat Politècnica de València. https://doi.org/10.4995/Thesis/10251/48527 / TESIS

Modeling and Analysis of Advanced Cryptographic Primitives and Security Protocols in Maude-NPAAparicio Sánchez, Damián 23 December 2022 (has links)
Tesis por compendio / [ES] La herramienta criptográfica Maude-NPA es un verificador de modelos especializado para protocolos de seguridad criptográficos que tienen en cuenta las propiedades algebraicas de un sistema criptográfico. En la literatura, las propiedades criptográficas adicionales han descubierto debilidades de los protocolos de seguridad y, en otros casos, son parte de los supuestos de seguridad del protocolo para funcionar correctamente. Maude-NPA tiene una base teórica en la rewriting logic, la unificación ecuacional y el narrowing para realizar una búsqueda hacia atrás desde un patrón de estado inseguro para determinar si es alcanzable o no. Maude-NPA se puede utilizar para razonar sobre una amplia gama de propiedades criptográficas, incluida la cancelación del cifrado y descifrado, la exponenciación de Diffie-Hellman, el exclusive-or y algunas aproximaciones del cifrado homomórfico.
En esta tesis consideramos nuevas propiedades criptográficas, ya sea como parte de protocolos de seguridad o para descubrir nuevos ataques. También hemos modelado diferentes familias de protocolos de seguridad, incluidos los Distance Bounding Protocols or Multi-party key agreement protocolos. Y hemos desarrollado nuevas técnicas de modelado para reducir el coste del análisis en protocolos con tiempo y espacio. Esta tesis contribuye de varias maneras al área de análisis de protocolos criptográficos y muchas de las contribuciones de esta tesis pueden ser útiles para otras herramientas de análisis criptográfico. / [CA] L'eina criptografica Maude-NPA es un verificador de models especialitzats per a protocols de seguretat criptogràfics que tenen en compte les propietats algebraiques d'un sistema criptogràfic.

In the literature, additional crypto properties have uncovered weaknesses of security protocols and, in other cases, they are part of the protocol security assumptions in order to function properly. Maude-NPA has a theoretical basis on rewriting logic, equational unification, and narrowing to perform a backwards search from an insecure state pattern to determine whether or not it is reachable. Maude-NPA can be used to reason about a wide range of cryptographic properties, including cancellation of encryption and decryption, Diffie-Hellman exponentiation, exclusive-or, and some approximations of homomorphic encryption.
In this thesis, we consider new cryptographic properties, either as part of security protocols or to discover new attacks. We have also modeled different families of security protocols, including Distance Bounding Protocols or Multi-party key agreement protocols. And we have developed new protocol modeling techniques to reduce the time and space analysis effort. This thesis contributes in several ways to the area of cryptographic protocol analysis and many of the contributions of this thesis can be useful for other crypto analysis tools. / This thesis would not have been possible without the funding of a set of research projects.
