Abstract
We develop principles and rules for achieving secrecy properties in
security protocols. Our approach is based on traditional classification
techniques, and extends those techniques to handle concurrent pro�
cesses that use shared�key cryptography. The rules have the form of
typing rules for a basic concurrent language with cryptographic prim�
itives, the spi calculus. They guarantee that, if a protocol typechecks,
then it does not leak its secret inputs.

International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Software in September
1997, and appeared in its proceedings, volume 1281 of Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in
Computer Science, pages 611--638.
