Protocol indepedence through disjoint encryption under Exclusive-OR

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

Multi-protocol attacks due to protocol interaction has been a notorious problem for security. Gutman-Thayer proved that they can be prevented by ensuring that encrypted messages are distinguishable across protocols, under a free algebra. In this paper, we prove that a similar suggestion prevents these attacks under commonly used operators such as Exclusive-OR, that induce equational theories, breaking the free algebra assumption.
