Abstract
The worlds growing dependency on telecommunications is a fact. The different networks give efficient and user friendly services to a large number of users. With adequate security measures in terms of confidentiality, authentication functions and signature capabilities, the functionality of the networks will be greatly enhanced, and the users would experience a better quality of service. The full benefit of the future ISDN will only be reachable with security features built into both the application layer protocols and protocols at one or more of the other architectural layers. The formal methods to be used to do the actual implementations will be topics for further research and development, because none of the existing formal description, construction and verification methods are fully adequate for this very complex task.
