    Describes a formal specification language and verification technique for analyzing key management protocols. A prototype verification tool that can be used to apply this technique is introduced. A protocol intended for use in the management of resource sharing, is formally specified and verified, and it is shown how the use of the considered techniques led to the discovery of a flaw that could be exploited by an intruder to convince a user of the system that he has obtained a service when he actually has not
