Abstract

We develop a simple model of computation under which to study the meaning of cryptographic protocol and security. We define a protocol as a mathematical object and security as a possible property of this object, Having formalized the concept of a secure protocol we study its general properties. We back up our contention that the model is reasonable by solving some well known cryptography problems within the framework of the model.
