Keynote Talk by Mads Dam: A Little Knowledge Goes a Little Bit Further

Abstract:
Epistemic logic - the logic of knowledge and belief - has played an important role in security protocol analysis since the inception of BAN logic in the late 80'es. Epistemic logic has in the past been used mainly for analysis of authentication and integrity properties, whereas for confidentiality properties other techniques such as Dolev-Yao models, trace-based models, and standard cryptographic models have dominated. We argue that epistemic logic has more to give in the modeling and analysis of security properties and illustrate by recent progress in areas such as information flow analysis, cryptographic knowledge, and model checking of temporal epistemic logic.
