Distance-Bounding Protocols: Verification without Time and Location

Sjouke Mauw ( CSC/SnT, University of Luxembourg )

Distance-bounding protocols are cryptographic protocols that securely establish an upper bound on the physical distance between the participants. Existing formal verification models for distance-bounding protocols consider timestamps and the location of agents. In this presentation I will introduce a causality-based characterization of secure distance-bounding, which discards the notions of time and location. This allows us to verify the correctness of distance-bounding protocols with standard protocol verification tools.
