CryptoVerif is a software tool for the automatic reasoning about security protocols written by Bruno Blanchet.[1]

Supported cryptographic mechanisms

It provides a mechanism for specifying the security assumptions on cryptographic primitives, which can handle in particular

  • symmetric encryption,
  • message authentication codes,
  • public-key encryption,
  • signatures,
  • hash functions.

Concrete security

CryptoVerif claims to evaluate the probability of a successful attack against a protocol relative to the probability of breaking each cryptographic primitive, i.e. it can establish concrete security.
