Dear list,

I am looking for an enthusiastic PhD student to join me at the University of Exeter and work on a fully funded project on:

End-to-End Verification of Security Protocols in Isabelle

The project explores the use of Isabelle/HOL to develop machine-checked proofs of security protocols, aiming to connect high-level protocol models with implementation-level correctness arguments. The work will contribute to the development of scalable techniques for theorem-prover-based security verification.

Ideal candidates will have interests in:
