Abstract

Specifications for security protocols range from informal narrations of message flows to formal assertions of protocol properties. This paper (intended to accompany a lecture at ETAPS '99) discusses those specifications and suggests some gaps and some opportunities for further work. Some of them pertain to the traditional core of the field; others appear when we examine the context in which protocols operate.
