Abstract

This chapter identifies and specifies a number of authentication, privacy, and verifiability requirements. Those specifications form two formal frameworks for the security analysis of exam protocols. The specifications of authentication and privacy requirements are in the applied π-calculus and are based on definitions of Exam protocol (Definition 16) and Exam instance (Definition 17). The specifications of verifiability requirements are discussed in a more abstract model using a set-theoretic approach rather than a process algebra. Both approaches are useful for the analysis of different types of exams. As we shall see, this book takes advantage of both approaches to analyse traditional, computer-assisted, and Internet-based exam protocols.
