Cryptographic protocols are useful for trust engineering in distributed transactions. Transactions require specific degrees of confidentiality and agreement between the principals engaging in it. Moreover, trust management assertions may be attached to protocol actions, constraining the behavior of a principal to be compatible with its own trust policy. We embody these ideas in a cryptographic protocol programming language cppl at the Dolev-Yao level of abstraction. A strand space semantics for
