An Approach to Automated Design of Security Protocols

This paper deals with a formal specification approach that supports the design of security protocols. After introduction to communication protocols and description of the current problems in the design process, the subsequent section of the paper reviews a framework that is based on the genetic-programming approach. The original contribution consists of presentation of automated system to demonstrate the utilization of this approach for designing protocols that can establish secure communication. Moreover, this paper compares analytical and automated technique that might be used in the design process.
