Abstract

This paper describes the application of symbolic techniques(in particular, OBDD's) to model checking specificationsin the logic of knowledge for an agent operating withsynchronous perfect recall in an environment of which it hasincomplete knowledge. It discusses the application of thesetechiques to the verification of a security protocol: Chaum'sDining Cryptographers protocol, which provides a mechanismfor anonymous broadcast.
