Abstract

We propose the use of graphs as basic objects in security protocols. While having all the functionality of their number based counterparts; such protocols can have extended capabilities, especially useful in the field of verification and analysis. The scalability and transitivity for graph related properties allow for addressing protocols of increasing complexity. These features also cater for new challenges in the future, for instance ones resulting from a quantum computing paradigm.
