Description
Summary:We provide the first systematic analysis of the ISO/IEC 11770 standard for key management techniques [18,19], which describes a set of key exchange, key authentication, and key transport protocols. We analyse the claimed security properties, as well as additional modern requirements on key management protocols, for 30 protocols and their variants. Our formal, tool-supported analysis of the protocols uncovers several incorrect claims in the standard. We provide concrete suggestions for improving the standard.
