Abstract

Internet commerce requires secure communications. To order goods, a customer typically sends credit card details. To order life insurance, the customer might have to supply confidential personal data. Internet users would like to know that such information is safe from eavesdropping or tampering.

M. Abadi encouraged me to understand TLS and referred me to related work. J. Margetson pointed out simplifications to the model. C. Ballarin commented on a draft. Research funded by the epsrc, grants GR/K77051 ‘Authentication Logics’ and GR/K57381 ‘Mechanizing Temporal Reasoning.’
