Abstract:
The paper develops model checking techniques to examine NetBill and Digicash. We show how model checking can find atomicity problems by analyzing simplified versions of these protocols that retain crucial security problems. For our analysis we used the FDR model checker [13]. Note to reviewers: This is an extended abstract only. We anticipate that some of the work described in Section 5 will be completed by the time that the camera-ready copy of this paper is due (if it is accepted.) 1 Atomicity Properties Correctness is a prime concern for electronic commerce protocols. How can we show that a given protocol is safe for use? Here we show how to use model checking to test whether electronic commerce protocols satisfy some given atomicity properties. For verifying properties of protocols, model checking is a dramatic improvement over doing hand proofs, because it is mechanizable; it is a dramatic improvement over using state-of-the-art theorem provers because it is automatic, fast, and requires no human interaction. Moreover, we found a number of problems in proposed electronic commerce protocols using model checking.
