Validation of Prouve Protocols using the Automatic Tool TA4SP

We present a new process permitting to automatically analyze security protocols, specified in a very powerful language, Prouve, permitting to describe the roles of the participants as real programs. We have built a translator from Prouve specifications to a rule-based language used as input language by several very efficient protocol analyzers. This has permitted us to successfully validate confidentiality properties of several protocols with the TA4SP tool.
