Abstract

This work is about analysis of security protocol failures dependent on mathematical properties of computational and cryptographic algorithms. Detailed protocol models with inclusion of RSA and KMOV algorithms are compared with the idealized formal protocol model of the same security protocol. Idealized models are unsuitable for analysis of mathematical protocol failures. Detailed models are useful for experimental analysis of security protocols. The computational and cl-yptographic algorithms can be performed as sequences of elementary algebraic operations and simple auxiliary algorithms. A set of such operations and algorithms implemented and described as a special computational subsystem.
