We propose the use of graphs as basic objects in security protocols. While having all the functionality of their number based counterparts; such protocols can have extended capabilities, especially useful in the field of verification and analysis. The scalability and transitivity for graph related properties allow for addressing protocols of increasing complexity. These features also cater for new challenges in the future, for instance ones resulting from a quantum computing paradigm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
