Abstract

Key distribution and trust management are two areas of interest in the world of internet security and are often merged to provide key distribution in the presence of trust relationships. We present two generic models using the Object-Z formalism, one for key distribution and another for trust management, and we show how the models can be combined via inheritance to produce concise models of key distribution in the presence of trust. We use Pretty Good Privacy as a specific example.
