Abstract

Strand Spaces serve as a model of security protocol analysis. In this paper, the main characteristics of Strand Spaces are briefly introduced, and its advantages and disadvantages are presented. An algorithm of building an ideal model of a protocol is proposed, which is used to bound both the abilities of the penetrator and the number of concurrent protocol runs. Combining Model Checking and Strand Spaces, a method is proposed to use both the automatic reasoning mechanism of the Model Checking and the bounds on security protocol analysis to achieve effective analysis of security protocols, avoiding state explosion problems.
