Performance Evaluations of a BSP Algorithm for State Space Construction of Security Protocols

This paper presents the implementation and the performance comparisons of two Bulk-Synchronous Parallel (BSP) algorithms to compute the discrete state space of models. These algorithms are simple to express and the first one is the most general one whereas the second is dedicated for structured models of security protocols. Benchmarks of security protocol scenarios has been done showing the benefits of the implementation of the dedicated algorithm.
