Authentication by Witness Functions

Cryptography and Security 2019-03-15 v1

Abstract

Witness functions have recently been introduced in cryptographic protocols' literature as a new powerful way to prove protocol correctness with respect to secrecy. In this paper, we extend them to the property of authentication. We show how to use them safely and we run an analysis on a modified version of the Woo-Lam protocol. We show that it is correct with respect to authentication.
