Abstract

In this paper we use FDR, a model checker for CSP, to detect errors in the TMN protocol [18]. We model the protocol and a very general intruder as CSP processes, and use the model checker to test whether the intruder can successfully attack the protocol. We consider three variants on the protocol, and discover a total of 10 different attacks leading to breaches of security.
