Abstract:Real-world communication protocols are often built out of a number of simpler protocols that cater for some specific functionality (e.g., banking, authentication). However much of the formal definitions of protocols used for program verification treat protocols as monolithic units.

We propose primitives and techniques for the modular composition of protocols. Our notion of composition de… Show more
