abstract

  • In the last years the amount of information being transmitted through communication networks has increased, and this has lead to an increased use of security protocols. The implementations of security
    protocols do not accurately follow the standards and this causes many
    malfunctions and security flaws. In this paper we will analyze the different
    approaches followed by the scientific community to evaluate security protocols'
    implementations, and will also analyze the special characteristics of security
    protocols, in order to deduce which are the key points for such an evaluation,
    how they can be evaluated and also if existing evaluation techniques can be
    used.
