  • SoK: Science, Security, and the Elusive Goal of Security as a Scientific Pursuit
    Abstract: Abstract--The past ten years has seen increasing calls to make security research more "scientific". On the surface, most agree that this is desirable, given universal recognition of "science" as a positive force. However, we find that there is little clarity on what "scientific" means in the... more
  • Automated Unbounded Verification of Stateful Cryptographic Protocols with Exclusive OR
    Abstract: Exclusive-or (XOR) operations are common in cryptographic protocols, in particular in RFID protocols and electronic payment protocols. Although there are numerous applications, due to the inherent complexity of faithful models of XOR, there is only limited tool support for the verification of... more
  • Deductive Verification of Distributed Protocols in First-Order Logic
    Abstract: Formal verification of infinite-state systems, and distributed systems in particular, is a long standing research goal. In the deductive verification approach, the programmer provides inductive invariants and pre/post specifications of procedures, reducing the verification problem to checking... more
  • Architecture Analysis and Verification of I3C Protocol
    Abstract: In VLSI industry the design cycle is categorized into Front End Design and Back End Design. Front End Design flow is from Specifications to functional verification of RTL design. Back End Design is from logic synthesis to fabrication of chip. Handheld devices like Mobile SOC's is an amalgamation of... more
  • Realization of System Verification Platform of IoT Smart Node Chip
    Abstract: With the development of large scale integrated circuits, the functions of the IoT chips have been increasingly perfect. The verification work has become one of the most important aspects. On the one hand, an efficient verification platform can ensure the correctness of the design. On the other hand... more
