The Scyther tool
================
Scyther is a tool for the symbolic analysis of security protocols. It is
developed by Cas Cremers, and is available from
<http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/people/cas.cremers/scyther/index.html>.
The below instructions apply only to the *distribution version* of
the Scyther tool. If you are working from the source files, some paths may be
slightly different, and it is recommended to follow the instructions in [../README.md](../README.md).
Running the scyther tool
------------------------
### Graphical user interface ###
The graphical user interface can be started by running `scyther-gui.py`,
e.g., enter the following in a terminal and press return
python ./scyther-gui.py
### Command-line usage ###
In the directory `./Scyther` there should be an executable for the
Scyther backend. Its name depends on the platform:
* `scyther-linux` (Linux)
* `scyther-w32` (Windows)
* `scyther-mac` (Mac OS X)
If this executable does not exist, you probably downloaded the source
files, and will need to compile it first. See `../README.md` for further
details.
There are also various test scripts (for usage in Linux) in this
directory.
Obtaining the sources
----------------------
Scyther is being developed on *Github*, and its complete source files are
availabe from
