A tale of two models: formal verification of KEMTLS in Tamarin

We prove the security of KEMTLS in two Tamarin models. One mode is based on the Cremers et al. model of TLS 1.3; the other closely resembles our pen-and-paper proofs. These models …

Making protocols post-quantum featured image

Making protocols post-quantum

Post-quantum key exchange and signature algorithms come with different trade-offs that we’re not used to. How do we handle that when updating protocols, and is this an opportunity …
