Utilizing Large Language Models to Translate RFC Protocol Specifications to CPSA Definitions
Published 30 Jan 2024 in cs.CR, cs.NI, and cs.SE | (2402.00890v1)
Abstract: This paper proposes the use of LLMs for translating Request for Comments (RFC) protocol specifications into a format compatible with the Cryptographic Protocol Shapes Analyzer (CPSA). This novel approach aims to reduce the complexities and efforts involved in protocol analysis, by offering an automated method for translating protocol specifications into structured models suitable for CPSA. In this paper we discuss the implementation of an RFC Protocol Translator, its impact on enhancing the accessibility of formal methods analysis, and its potential for improving the security of internet protocols.
