Abstract

Computationally sound symbolic analysis has been the topic of many recent works. Significant progress was made in proving that Dolev-Yao models offering the core cryptographic operations can be sound with respect to actual cryptographic realizations and security definitions. In this paper, we extend Dolev-Yao models to analyze protocols that use bilinear pairings and symmetric encryptions. Furthermore, we prove a computational soundness theorem of formal encryption in the presence of both key cycles and bilinear pairings at the same time, which is a non-trivial extension of former approaches.
