AbstractNowadays, group communication is becoming more important with many practical applications like teleconference, e learning, chatting ... The problem of group communication arises whenever a user leaves/joins the group. We must ensure the forward/backward confidentiality. In this thesis, we recommend a model to design and prove the correctness of group communication protocols. This is a high level model including abstract acts and types of act. We can design group protocols at the abstract level, which conforms to given standards. Because of the soundness of model and automatic interpreter, the protocol will run correctly when it is translated into lower layer messages exchanging. Our language is associated with a logic named Protolog. Protolog has many axioms, formulas and rules, which are used to express mental states of users and to reason the logic. To test the operational semantic of model, we use strand space. The theorem of soundness of model semantic states that if a formula holds in logic, it will hold in operational model
