We consider two standard notions in formal security protocol analysis: message deducibility and static equivalence under equational theories. We present new polynomial-time algorithms for deciding both notions under subterm convergent equational theories and under a theory representing symmetric encryption with the prefix property. For these equational theories, polynomial-time algorithms for the decision problems associated to both notions are well-known (although this has not been proven for static equivalence under the prefix theory). However, our algorithms have a significantly better asymptotic complexitythan existing approaches.As an application, we use our algorithm for static equivalence to discover off-line guessing attacks on the Kerberos protocol when implemented using a symmetric encryption scheme for which the prefix property holds.}, author = {Bruno Conchinha and David Basin and Carlos Caleiro}, booktitle = {Formal Aspects in Security and Trust (FAST '2010)}, copyright = {Springer}, copyrighturl = {http://www.springerlink.com/content/n3323gh2417k/#section=862333&page=1&locus=2} , editor = {Pierpaolo Degano and Sandro Etalle and Joshua D.
