The CCS (Calculus of Communicating Systems) process algebra is a well-known formal model of synchronization and communication. It is used for the analysis of safety and liveness i...
We present a formal model for concurrent systems. The model represents synchronous and asynchronous components in a uniform framework that supports compositional (assume-guarantee)...
— Both broadcast encryption (BE) protocols and multicast key distribution (MKD) protocols try to solve the same problem of private group communication. For the first time, we dis...
—We investigate a quasi-trusted QKD relaying model. This is a three-party communication model. Two nodes Alice and Bob want to establish a secret key. However, the distance betwe...
Abstract. Fine-grained lock protocols should allow for highly concurrent transaction processing on XML document trees, which is addressed by the taDOM lock protocol family enabling...
