Modelling and Verification of Secure Exams: Information Security and Cryptography

Autor Rosario Giustolisi
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 mar 2018
In this book the author introduces a novel approach to securing exam systems. He provides an in-depth understanding, useful for studying the security of exams and similar systems, such as public tenders, personnel selections, project reviews, and conference management systems.
After a short chapter that explains the context and objectives of the book, in Chap. 2 the author introduces terminology for exams and the foundations required to formulate their security requirements. He describes the tasks that occur during an exam, taking account of the levels of detail and abstraction of an exam specification and the threats that arise out of the different exam roles. He also presents a taxonomy that classifies exams by types and categories. Chapter 3 contains formal definitions of the authentication, privacy, and verifiability requirements for exams, a framework based on the applied pi-calculus for the specification of authentication and privacy, and a more abstract approach based on set-theory that enables the specification of verifiability. Chapter 4 describes the Huszti-Pethő protocol in detail and proposes a security enhancement. In Chap. 5 the author details Remark!, a protocol for Internet-based exams, discussing its cryptographic building blocks and some security considerations. Chapter 6 focuses on WATA, a family of computer-assisted exams that employ computer assistance while keeping face-to-face testing. The chapter also introduces formal definitions of accountability requirements and details the analysis of a WATA protocol against such definitions. In Chaps. 4, 5, and 6 the author uses the cryptographic protocol verifier ProVerif for the formal analyses. Finally, the author outlines future work in Chap. 7. 
The book is valuable for researchers and graduate students in the areas of information security, in particular for people engaged with exams or protocols.

Recenzii

“This book might be of interest to everyone who wants to learn more about the nature of exams in general, and in particular about how to model and verify them. … The book provides a good overview of key elements of various types of exams and their corresponding security requirements, leading to a better understanding of exam protocols in general … . The description of the individual exam protocols is very detailed and easy to follow.” (Diego Marmsoler, fmeurope.org, October 29, 2021)

Notă biografică

Rosario Giustolisi is an assistant professor at the IT University of Copenhagen. He received his PhD from the University of Luxembourg where he worked on a formal framework for the security analysis of exam protocols and on the design of protocols for computer-assisted and Internet-based exams. As a postdoc at SICS RISE and a member of the Security Lab in Lund, he investigated group-based authentication mechanisms for future 5G networks. His research interests include the modeling and formal analysis of secure network protocols and the sociotechnical security aspects of real-world systems.
