We formulate implementations as translations to lower-level languages with cryptographic primitives. Cryptographic protocols are essential components of those translations. In this paper we discuss basic cryptographic protocols for transmitting a single datum from one site to another. We explain some sufficient correctness conditions for these protocols. As an example, we present a simple protocol and a proof of its correctness.}, publisher = {Springer Berlin Heidelberg}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/top-look-secure-message/}, pages = {122-141}, edition = {19th Conference Chennai, India, December 13-15, 1999 Proceedings}, }
