  • Abstract
    A logic and associated formal semantics specifically designed to represent and analyze cryptographic protocols are presented. A language is given with distinct means to represent knowledge of an individual word (e.g., the ability to recognize or produce a decryption key) and propositional knowledge. A sample analysis of a protocol is given to demonstrate the potential usefulness of the system
