%0 Journal Article %T A Calculus for Non Repudiation Protocols %A Abdesselam Redouane %J International Journal of Computer Science Issues %D 2013 %I IJCSI Press %X We describe a calculus that is specific to non-repudiation protocols. The calculus uses the correspondence assertion of Woo and Lam, that is, if there is a non-repudiation of receipt there should be a corresponding non-repudiation of origin. The main contribution of this work lies in the way we model input and output and hence captures non-repudiation properties. The calculus is a subset of the Pi calculus. The basic constructs are modified in order to handle properties of non-repudiation. We offer a formal syntax and an operational semantics of the calculus. We show the usefulness of the calculus by describing Zhou optimistic protocol. %K Non repudiation protocols %K Pi calculus %K operational semantics %K IJCSI %U http://www.ijcsi.org/papers/IJCSI-10-1-3-357-362.pdf
