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-Peth? 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. 410 0$aInformation Security and Cryptography,$x2197-845X 606 $aData structures (Computer science) 606 $aInformation theory 606 $aComputer networks 606 $aMachine theory 606 $aTest-taking skills 606 $aInformation technology$xManagement 606 $aData Structures and Information Theory 606 $aComputer Communication Networks 606 $aFormal Languages and Automata Theory 606 $aRevision and Exam 606 $aComputer Application in Administrative Data Processing 615 0$aData structures (Computer science). 615 0$aInformation theory. 615 0$aComputer networks. 615 0$aMachine theory. 615 0$aTest-taking skills. 615 0$aInformation technology$xManagement. 615 14$aData Structures and Information Theory. 615 24$aComputer Communication Networks. 615 24$aFormal Languages and Automata Theory. 615 24$aRevision and Exam. 615 24$aComputer Application in Administrative Data Processing. 676 $a005.8 700 $aGiustolisi$b Rosario$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0921503 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299271903321 996 $aModelling and Verification of Secure Exams$92067149 997 $aUNINA
