Abstract

We present SATMC (SAT-based Model Checker), an open and flexible platform for SAT-based bounded model checking [8] of security protocols. Under the standard assumptions of perfect cryptography and of strong typing, SATMC performs a bounded analysis of the problem by considering scenarios with a finite number of sessions whereby messages are exchanged on a channel controlled by the most general intruder based on the Dolev-Yao model [12].

This work was partially funded by the FET Open EC Project “AVISPA: Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications” (IST-2001-39252) and by the FIRB Project no. RBAU01P5SS.
