Innovations in Security Protocols At SEFM24, Dr. Ye presented the paper titled "User-Guided Verification of Security Protocols via Sound Animation", a collaborative work with Dr. Metere and Dr. Poonam Yadav. This research addresses the challenges of making formal verification more accessible to security protocol designers. By introducing sound animation, the team developed an iterative workflow that enables designers to identify bugs early in the design process, with the assurance that detected issues represent real flaws. The innovation lies in the automatic generation of animators from security protocol models, streamlining the process and allowing designers to deliver secure protocols efficiently without [...]
