This software can be used to prove secrecy and authenticity properties
of cryptographic protocols.

INSTALL

To run this software, you need Objective Caml version 4.03 or
higher. Objective Caml can be downloaded from
	http://caml.inria.fr

The installation of graphviz is required if you want to have a drawing
of graphs representing attacks that ProVerif found. It can be downloaded from
	http://graphviz.org

The installation GTK+2.24 and LablGTK2 is required if you want to
run the interactive simulator proverif_interact. Use the package manager
of your distribution to install GTK+2 and download lablgtk-2.18.6.tar.gz
from
	http://lablgtk.forge.ocamlcore.org/
and follow the installation instructions in their README file.

Furthermore, on Mac OS X, you need to install XCode if you do not
already have it. It can be downloaded from
	https://developer.apple.com/xcode/

* under Unix / Mac

Uncompress the source and documentation archives using tar:

	gunzip proverifE_Final.tar.gz
	tar -xf proverifE_Final.tar
	gunzip proverifdocE_Final.tar.gz
	tar -xf proverifdocE_Final.tar

or if you have GNU tar:

	tar -xzf proverifE_Final.tar.gz
	tar -xzf proverifdocE_Final.tar.gz

This will create a directory named proverifE_Final in the current directory.
Go into this directory, and build the programs:

	cd proverifE_Final
	./build

* under Windows 

Uncompress the archives proverifE_Final.tar.gz and proverifdocE_Final.tar.gz
using Winzip, in the directory of your choice. This will create a
subdirectory named proverifE_Final. Open a DOS window, cd into the
proverifE_Final directory and run the build .BAT file:

	build

The system can run under Windows, but it is not very Windows-friendly:
you have to use the command line to run the programs. Improving the interface
is on the to-do list...

USAGE

This software contains three executable programs, proverif, proveriftotex,
and proverif_interact. 

The program proverif takes as input a description of a cryptographic
protocol, and checks whether it satisfies secrecy, authenticity, or
equivalence properties. The description of the protocol can have
several different formats.  The recommended format is the typed pi
calculus format, which is a dialect of the applied pi calculus (Abadi
and Fournet, POPL'01).  The description of the protocol is first
translated into Horn clauses, then the core of the verifier is called.
This input format is documented in the file docs/manual.pdf
(found in proverifdocE_Final.tar.gz). Examples of protocol descriptions 
can be found in the examples/pitype subdirectory. 
To run these examples, use 
        ./proverif <filename>.pv
or if your filename does not end in .pv,
        ./proverif -in pitype <filename>
For example:
	./proverif examples/pitype/secr-auth/NeedhamSchroederPK.pv

Other input formats are documented in the file docs/manual-untyped.pv
Research papers can be downloaded at
	http://prosecco.inria.fr/personal/bblanche/publications/index.html
They are not included in the distribution because of copyright differences.
(You cannot redistribute these papers.)

The program proveriftotex takes as input a protocol description
and converts it into a LaTeX file. This is useful for including
protocols in research papers.

The program proverif_interact is an interactive simulator for ProVerif
scripts.

The script "test" runs several tests (Unix or cygwin only):
You can run them by
         ./test 
The output of these scripts is written in the directory tests. The
filename of the output is "typed" followed by the
date/time of the run.
