Dolev and Yao: security of public-key protocols

Contribution grade

Security and cryptography · THEOREM

Reference score200,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Modeled active message manipulation and gave security characterizations and algorithms for specified public-key protocols.

Scientific scope

The record is the exact two-author 1983 IEEE paper. Its symbolic assumptions and protocol class are explicit; it does not absorb all later Dolev–Yao variants, computational cryptography or every protocol-verification method.
