CryptoVerif is a software tool for the automatic reasoning about security protocols written by Bruno Blanchet.[1]
Supported cryptographic mechanisms
It provides a mechanism for specifying the security assumptions on cryptographic primitives, which can handle in particular
- symmetric encryption,
- message authentication codes,
- public-key encryption,
- signatures,
- hash functions.
Concrete security
CryptoVerif claims to evaluate the probability of a successful attack against a protocol relative to the probability of breaking each cryptographic primitive, i.e. it can establish concrete security.
