That part was recently added by an anonymous user. It doesn't have any source for the claim of the second sentence and the reference added to the first sentence is the result of a workshop which was held over 20 years ago. You might want to reconsider taking that seriously. Edit: I decided that that needs at least one more "citation needed" tag and added it.

Did you find any answer for this? Do they really abandon BAN-family logics ?

Any good reference to a proof of the trustworthiness of a simple protocol based on blockchain?

I would like to learn how to proof the trustworthiness of a protocol based on blockchain, so I'm looking for a simple example. Specifically, I would like to know which formal system is adecuate for the job and how to apply it for the properties of the blockchain.

Does anybody knows which "proof methods based on standard invariance reasoning" is the author writing about?
