Abstract :
This paper shows how an architecture description notation that has support for timed events can be used to provide a meta-language for specifying exact communication semantics. The advantages of such an approach is that a designer is made fully aware of the ramifications of her design choices so that an attacker can no longer take advantage of hidden assumptions
