Abstract
We present principles for designing cryptographic protocols. The
principles are neither necessary nor sufficient for correctness. They
are however helpful, in that adherence to them would have prevented a
number of published errors. Our principles are informal guidelines; they
complement formal methods, but do not assume them. In order to
demonstrate the actual applicability of these guidelines, we discuss
some instructive examples from the literature
