I found the following line of code in the proverif manual.
⋮
query event(evCocks) ==> event(evRSA).
⋮
What does ==>
mean?
EDIT: I have answered my own question below.
Correspondence properties:
P and Q are predicates.
P(x) ==> Q(x, y)
for all x where P(x) is true, then there exists a y
such that Q(x, y) is true
query event(e1) ==> event(e2).
the query above can be translated to the following question:
Is it true that;
for all executions of event e1 (in the protocol) it is true that
e2 has executed?
In the proverif manual it is stated that
query event(evCocks) ==> event(evRSA)
is true if and only if, for all executions of the protocol, if the event
evCocks has been executed, then
event evRSA has also [already] been executed
