Performing Security Proofs of Stateful Protocols

In protocol verification we observe a wide spectrum from fully automated methods to interactive theorem proving with proof assistants like Isabelle/HOL. The latter provide overwhelmingly high assurance of the correctness, which automated methods often cannot: due to their complexity, bugs in such automated verification tools are likely and thus the risk of erroneously verifying a flawed protocol is non-negligible. There are a few works that try to combine advantages from both ends of the spectrum: a high degree of automation and assurance.

AI in Both Defensive and Offensive Context

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) seem to revolutionize all aspects of our life. Of course, this also is true for cybersecurity - at least if we believe the statements from vendors that want to sell their latest AI/ML-enhanced security product. But is this really true?

Welcome to the blog of the Software Assurance & Security Research Team at the University of Exeter. We blog regularly news, tips & tricks, as well as fun facts about software assurance, reliability, security, testing, verification, hacking, and logic.
