Abstract

Fraglets are computation fragments flowing through a computer network. They implement a chemical reaction model where computations are carried out by having fraglets react with each other. The strong connection between their way of transforming and reacting and some formal rewriting system makes a fraglet program amenable to verification. Starting from a threat model which we intend to use for modeling secure communication protocols with fraglets, we propose an executable specification of fraglets (and fraglets-based cryptographic protocols) in the rewriting logic-based Maude interpreter.
