In this paper we report on recent results about the merge of the cryptographic security proof for the Password Authenticated Connection Establishment (PACE), used within the German identity cards, with the algebraic-logic symbolic proof for the same protocol. Both proofs have initially been carried out individually, but ...

To establish a secure channel between two parties common security solutions often use a key exchange protocol as a preliminary subroutine to generate a shared key. These solutions include the protocols for secure communication between a reader and an identity card or passport, called PACE and EAC, and the TLS protocol ...
