Verification of Security protocols (TU/e, course code: 2IMS15)

Canvas for materials and further information

Here we only give some basics. The course details and resources are provided on CANVAS.

Contact me if you are taking the course but not yet registered for it on CANVAS.

Course Basics

Accademic Year: 2017-2018

Who gives this course:

When: Quarter 3. (February till April 2018)

Time and Place: Wednesdays hours 5 and 6 (13:45-15:30) and Fridays hours 3 and 4 (10:45 - 12:30)

Preliminary Schedule:

The following is the plan for topics treated in each lecture. There may be some changes during the course. Some suggested reading material related to the topic is also indicated. The references marked with * may contain parts that are beyond what is treated (up till then) in the course. The references [17]-[20] provide further background and examples.
