“…eorem proving is an effective method when dealing with general systems of infinite state apace. e notion of provable anonymity theory was built in Isabelle/HOL to achieve a mechanical framework for the analysis of anonymity protocols [17,18]. Its feasibility is illustrated through two case studies of the Crowds and Onion Routing protocols.…”

Anonymity is the property of keeping secret the identity of the user performing a certain action. The need for anonymity may arise in a wide range of situations, like electronic voting, Web browsing, and so on. In order to verify the anonymity of security protocols, a framework for formal analysis of anonymous communication protocols is proposed. In this framework, we define operational semantics for security protocols using a labelled transition system; the transition relation is defined by the transition rules, which include create rule, send rule, and receive rule. In addition, the formal description of intruder model in this framework is given. The proposed intruder model specifies the capabilities of the intruder and is weaker than the Dolev–Yao model. Moreover, the concepts of mapping and trace equivalence are proposed; the sender anonymity is formally defined. To illustrate the applicability of proposed framework, we explore the use of probabilistic model checking tool PRISM to analyze the sender anonymity of Crowds protocol. The experimental results show the relationship between sender anonymity and the number of nodes, path reformulations, and forwarding probability, which provides a good way about how to protect the sender anonymity of anonymous communication protocols.

“…Moreover, there is some other communication system including Mixes and Mixnet that have been studied with several 9 publications. Improving security and anonymity [38]- [42], presentation [36], [39], traffic inquiry [43] and assessment of anonymity [33], [42] are the ACS problems covered in the study [28]. AP3, ANODR (on-demand routing protocol for mobile ad hoc network), and Salsa are considered in four different studies.…”

Financial Technology (FinTech) has attracted a wide range of attention and is rapidly proliferating. As a result of its consistent growth new terms have been introduced in this domain. The term 'FinTech' is one such terminology. This term is used for describing various operations that are being frequently employed in the financial technology sector. These operations are usually practiced in enterprises or organizations and provide requested services by using Information Technology based applications. The term does take into account various other sensitive issues, like, security, privacy, threats, cyber-attacks, etc. This is important to note that the development of FinTech is indebted to the mutual integration of different state of the art technologies, for example, technologies related to a mobile embedded system, mobile networks, mobile cloud computing, big data, data analytics techniques, and cloud computing etc. However, this technology is facing several security and privacy issues that are much needed to be addressed in order to improve the acceptability of this new technology among its users. In an effort to secure FinTech, this article provides a comprehensive survey of FinTech by reviewing the most recent as well as anticipated financial industry privacy and security issues. It provides a comprehensive analysis of current security issues, detection mechanisms and security solutions proposed for FinTech. Finally, it discusses future challenges to ensure the security and privacy of financial technology applications.

“…Next, the authors built upon Lebesgue integral to formalize the Radon-Nikodym derivative and used it for formalizing the fundamentals of information theory, i.e., Shannon and relative entropies [64]. Later, Mhamdi et al [65] used the probabilistic analysis support developed in HOL4 to evaluate the security properties of the confidentiality protocols. A library for the formal probabilistic analysis has also been developed in Isabelle.…”

Due to major breakthroughs in software and engineering technologies, embedded systems are increasingly being utilized in areas ranging from aerospace and next-generation transportation systems, to smart grid and smart cities, to health care systems, and broadly speaking to what is known as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). A CPS is primarily composed of several electronic, communication and controller modules and some actuators and sensors. The mix of heterogeneous underlying smart technologies poses a number of technical challenges to the design and more severely to the verification of such complex infrastructure. In fact, a CPS shall adhere to strict safety, reliability, performance and security requirements, where one needs to capture both physical and random aspects of the various CPS modules and then analyze their interrelationship across interlinked continuous and discrete dynamics. Oftentimes however, system bugs remain uncaught during the analysis and in turn cause unwanted scenarios that may have serious consequences in safety-critical applications. In this paper, we introduce some of the challenges surrounding the design and verification of contemporary CPS with the advent of smart technologies. In particular, we survey recent developments in the use of theorem proving, a formal method, for the modeling, analysis and verification of CPS, and overview some real world CPS case studies from the automotive, avionics and healthtech domains from system level to physical components.
