Abstract
Information security has benefited from mathematically cogent modeling and analysis, which can assure the absence of specific kinds of attacks. Information security provides the right sorts of problems: Correctness conditions may be subtle, but they have definite mathematical content. Systems may be complex, but the essential reasons for failures are already present in simple components. Thus, rigorous methods lead to clear improvements.
