  • Abstract
    We formalise in a theorem prover the notion of provable anonymity proposed by Garcia et al. Our formalization relies on inductive definitions of message distinguish ability and observational equivalence over observed traces by the intruder. Our theory differs from its original proposal which essentially boils down to the existence of a reinterpretation function. We build our theory in Isabelle/HOL to have a mechanical framework for the analysis of anonymity protocols. Its feasibility is illustrated through the onion routing protocol.
