Cryptographic protocols are often specified by narrations, i.e., finite sequences of message exchanges that show the intended execution of the protocol. Another use of narrations is to describe attacks. We propose in this paper to compile, when possible, attack describing narrations into a set of tests that honest participants can perform to exclude these executions. These tests can be implemented in monitors to protect existing implementations from rogue behaviour.

In this paper, we propose a unification algorithm for the theory $E$ which combines unification algorithms for $E_{std}$ and $E_{ACUN}$ (ACUN properties, like XOR) but compared to the more general combination methods uses specific properties of the e quational theories for further optimizations. Our optimizations drastically reduce the number of non-deterministic choices, in particular those for variable identification and linear orderings. This is important for reducing both the runtime of the unification algorithm and the number of unifiers in the complete set of unifiers. We emphasize that obtaining a ``small set of unifiers is essential for the efficiency of the constraint solving procedure within which the unification algorithm is used. The method is implemented in the CL-Atse tool for security protocol analysis.

NEO is one of the top public chains worldwide. We focus on its backbone consensus protocol, called delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (dBFT). The dBFT protocol has been adopted by a variety of blockchain systems such as ONT. dBFT claims to guarantee the security when no more than $f = lfloor frac{n}{3} rfloor$ nodes are Byzantine, where $n$ is the total number of consensus participants. However, we identify attacks to break the claimed security. In this paper, we show our results by providing a security analysis on its dBFT protocol. First, we evaluate NEOs source code and formally present the procedures of dBFT via the state machine replication (SMR) model. Next, we provide a theoretical analysis with two example attacks. These attacks break the security of dBFT with no more than $f$ nodes. Then, we provide recommendations on how to fix the system against the identified attacks. The suggested fixes have been accepted by the NEO official team. Finally, we further discuss the reasons causing such issues, the relationship with current permissioned blockchain systems, and the scope of potential influence.
Internet of Things (IoT) consists of a large number of devices connected through a network, which exchange a high volume of data, thereby posing new security, privacy, and trust issues. One way to address these issues is ensuring data confidentiality using lightweight encryption algorithms for IoT protocols. However, the design and implementation of such protocols is an error-prone task; flaws in the implementation can lead to devastating security vulnerabilities. Here we propose a new verification approach named Encryption-BMC and Fuzzing (EBF), which combines Bounded Model Checking (BMC) and Fuzzing techniques to check for security vulnerabilities that arise from concurrent implementations of cyrptographic protocols, which include data race, thread leak, arithmetic overflow, and memory safety. EBF models IoT protocols as a client and server using POSIX threads, thereby simulating both entities communication. It also employs static and dynamic verification to cover the systems state-space exhaustively. We evaluate EBF against three benchmarks. First, we use the concurrency benchmark from SV-COMP and show that it outperforms other state-of-the-art tools such as ESBMC, AFL, Lazy-CSeq, and TSAN with respect to bug finding. Second, we evaluate an open-source implementation called WolfMQTT. It is an MQTT client implementation that uses the WolfSSL library. We show that tool detects a data race bug, which other approaches are unable to find. Third, to show the effectiveness of EBF, we replicate some known vulnerabilities in OpenSSL and CyaSSL (lately WolfSSL) libraries. EBF can detect the bugs in minimum time.
A novel method and protocol establishing common secrecy based on physical parameters between two users is proposed. The four physical parameters of users are their clock frequencies, their relative clock phases and the distance between them. The prot ocol proposed between two users is backed by theoretical model for the measurements. Further, estimators are proposed to estimate secret physical parameters. Physically exchanged parameters are shown to be secure by virtue of their non-observability to adversaries. Under a simplified analysis based on a testbed settings, it is shown that 38 bits of common secrecy can be derived for one run of the proposed protocol among users. The method proposed is also robust against various kinds of active timing attacks and active impersonating adversaries.
IEEE 802.1X is an international standard for Port-based Network Access Control which provides authentication for devices applicant of either local network or wireless local network. This standard defines the packing of EAP protocol on IEEE 802. In th is standard, authentication protocols become a complementary part of network security. There is a variety in EAP family protocols, regarding their speed and security. One of the fastest of these protocols is EAP-MD5 which is the main subject of this paper. Moreover, in order to improve EAP-MD5 security, a series of attacks against it have been investigated. In this paper at first EAP-MD5 protocol is introduced briefly and a series of the dictionary attacks against it are described. Then, based on observed weaknesses, by proposing an appropriate idea while maintaining the speed of execution, its security against dictionary attack is improved.
