Analysing Unlinkability and Anonymity Using the Applied Pi Calculus
<10>Originality: This paper proposes a framework for analysing privacy properties such as anonymity and unlinkability.
Significance: Privacy is an ever-increasing concern of our societies. The proposed methodology has been used for the analysis of widely deployed applications such as electronic passport and telecommunication protocols. The paper analyses the implementation of the electronic passport protocols by Morpho (Saphran group) for France, and shows an attack that makes bearers of French electronic passports trackable. Arapinis [CCS 2012] has also used this framework to uncover privacy vulnerabilities in 3G telecommunication networks.
Rigour: Paper accepted at the main conference on theory of computer security.
