This work provides incremental verification for a specific attestation protocol, addressing security concerns in cryptographic systems.
The paper analyzed the CAVES attestation protocol using formal methods to verify that its runs achieve specified security goals, with tool-supported validation confirming this outcome.
This paper describes the CAVES attestation protocol and presents a tool-supported analysis showing that the runs of the protocol achieve stated goals. The goals are stated formally by annotating the protocol with logical formulas using the rely-guarantee method. The protocol analysis tool used is the Cryptographic Protocol Shape Analyzer.
