Abstract
We introduce derailing attacks, a class of blocking attacks on security protocols. As opposed to blunt, low-level attacks such as persistent jamming, derailing only requires a minimal, application-level intervention from the attacker. We give a simple definition of derailing attacks in an abstract formal model, and demonstrate that derailing attacks are viable in practice through examples from two application domains, namely radio-frequency identification and fair exchange protocols.
