Dolev-Yao model 2026-10-31
A symbolic adversarial model of Danny Dolev and Andrew Yao granting control of the network while treating cryptographic operations as ideal constructors and destructors. An adversary may split unprotected tuples, replay messages and encrypt with known public keys, but cannot decrypt without the required key. Separate encrypted components are not automatically bound to adjacent clear fields.
