Sapic

SAPIC is a tool that translates protocols from a high-level protocol description language akin to the applied pi-calculus into multiset rewrite rules, that can then be be analysed using the TAMARIN prover. TAMARIN has also bee extended with dedicated heuristics that exploit the form of translated rules and favour termination.

SAPIC offers support for the analysis of protocols that include states, for example Hardware Security Tokens communicating with a possibly malicious user, or protocols that rely on databases. It also allows us to verify liveness properties and a recent extension adds a notion of location and reporting used for modelling trusted execution environments. It has been successfully applied on several case studies including the Yubikey authentication protocol, extensions of the PKCS#11 standard and fair exchange protocols.
