Automated Design of Non-Repudiation Security Protocols

This paper proposes an approach of automated design of non-repudiation security protocols from the abstract level that uses logic-based rules. The search strategy adopts the genetic algorithm which is a meta-heuristic search method. During the searching process, some counter measures against flaws of security protocols are added to assess the candidate protocols. Therefore candidate protocols can guarantee some security properties. In the past, security protocols are mostly designed manually which depends on the experiences and skills of experts. The automated design method of security protocol alleviates the burden of designing security protocols, and guides the designer to get a fast and better security protocols.
