The Joint EasyCrypt-F*-CryptoVerif School 2014

Abstract

Formal security verification tools are slowly reaching maturity. The Joint EasyCrypt-F*-CryptoVerif School took place between 24 and 28 November 2014 in Paris and taught participants how to use three state-of-the-art security verification tools, as well as gave participants a glimpse of the formal foundations behind these tools. The school brought together over 80 participants from 12 countries, with backgrounds spanning security, cryptography, programming languages, and formal methods. The time of the school was roughly evenly split between lectures and hands-on exercise sessions. For the exercise sessions participants installed and tried EasyCrypt, F*, and CryptoVerif on their own laptops, under the guidance of members from the developer teams of the tools. The school also contained three short invited talks: Hubert Comon on Unconditional Soundness , Véronique Cortier on Type-Based Verification of Electronic Voting Protocols , and Matteo Maffei on Logical Foundations of Secure Resource Management in Protocol Implementations.
