Can I read Flat and one-variable clauses: Complexity of verifying cryptographic protocols with single blind copying on EtoBox?

Flat and one-variable clauses: Complexity of verifying cryptographic protocols with single blind copying by Helmut Seidl; Kumar Neeraj Verma is a Computer Science article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Flat and one-variable clauses: Complexity of verifying cryptographic protocols with single blind copying about?

Cryptographic protocols with single blind copying were defined and modeled by Comon and Cortier using the new class C of first-order clauses. They showed its satisfiability problem to be in 3-DEXPTIME. We improve this result by showing that satisfiability for this class is NEXPTIME-complete, using new resolution techniques. We show satisfiability to be DEXPTIME-complete if clauses are Horn, which is what is required for modeling cryptographic protocols. While translation to Horn clauses only gives a DEXPTIME upper bound for the secrecy problem for these protocols, we further show that this secrecy problem is actually DEXPTIME-complete.
