A logic of communication in hostile environment

The author adapts a knowledge-oriented model of distributed systems in order to analyze cryptographic protocols. This new model provides semantics for a logic of knowledge, time and communication. He expresses and proves with this logic security properties as secrecy and authentication.<<ETX>>
