Two Security Provers Finally Shared a Model
A sound translation covered 562 of 566 lemma tasks and made tool verdicts directly comparable.
Summary
A sound translation covered 562 of 566 lemma tasks and made tool verdicts directly comparable.
Within its faithful fragment, the translation preserves verified properties and most existence traces. Of 247 non-XOR tasks with definitive results from both tools, 246 agreed; ProVerif was faster on 334 of 362 tasks where both completed logically, while best-effort XOR encodings remain outside the guarantees.
