Using probabilistic automata for security protocols verification

The article discusses the issues of modeling and the analysis of executions, which is a substantial part of modern communication protocols - authentication protocols, which are generally referred to herein as security protocols. The article presents a way of security protocols executions analysis with the use of probabilistic automata, without well known and widely used perfect cryptography assumption (we assume allowing the possibility of breaking a key with a specified probability). This type of analysis leads to interesting observations about the operation of the protocol and its weaknesses
