Casper: A Compiler for the Analysis of Security Protocols


Casper is a program that will take a description of a security protocol in a simple, abstract language, and produce a CSP description of the same protocol, suitable for checking using FDR2.

The following will give you some idea of how Casper works:

The Casper distribution can be obtained here, as a gzipped, tarred directory. Details of installation are available here.

A new alpha-release distribution (2007/02/21) is available here.

There is also a compiler COSPJ available, that produces Java implementations of protocols from Casper-like descriptions.

If you encounter any difficulties, please get in touch.
