Cryptographic Protocol: Security Analysis Based on Trusted Freshness mainly discusses how to
analyze and design cryptographic protocols based on the idea of system engineering and that of
the trusted freshness component. A novel freshness principle based on the trusted freshness
component is presented this principle is the basis for an efficient and easy method for
analyzing the security of cryptographic protocols. The reasoning results of the new approach
when compared with the security conditions can either establish the correctness of a
cryptographic protocol when the protocol is in fact correct or identify the absence of the
security properties which leads the structure to construct attacks directly. Furthermore
based on the freshness principle a belief multiset formalism is presented. This formalism's
efficiency rigorousness and the possibility of its automation are also presented. The book is
intended for researchers engineers and graduate students in the fields of communication
computer science and cryptography and will be especially useful for engineers who need to
analyze cryptographic protocols in the real world. Dr. Ling Dong is a senior engineer in the
network construction and information security field. Dr. Kefei Chen is a Professor at the
Department of Computer Science and Engineering Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
