Journal ArticleDOI
The foundation of a generic theorem prover
TL;DR: Higher-order logic has several practical advantages over other meta-logics, such as Huet's higher-order unification procedure, and Isabelle is now based on higher- order logic-a precise and well-understood foundation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Proving properties of security protocols by induction
TL;DR: The method applies to both symmetric key and public key protocols and has no restriction to finite state systems and the approach is not based on belief logics.
Book
Logic and computation : interactive proof with Cambridge LCF
TL;DR: This study of techniques for formal theorem-proving focuses on the applications of Cambridge LCF (Logic for Computable Functions), a computer program for reasoning about computation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inductive analysis of the Internet protocol TLS
TL;DR: In this article, an inductive analysis of TLS (a descendant of SSL 3.0) has been performed using the theorem prover Isabelle, based on higher-order logic and making no assumptions concerning beliefs of finiteness.

The Foundation of a Generic Theorem Prover
TL;DR: Isabelle as mentioned in this paper is an interactive theorem prover that supports a variety of logics, including higher-order logic, which is a meta-logic based approach to formalize logics and proofs.
