With the proliferation of contactless applications, obtaining reliable information about distance is becoming an importantsecurity goal, and specific protocols have been designed for that purpose.These protocols typically measure the round trip time of messagesand use this information to infera distance.Formal methods have proved their usefulness when analysing standardsecurity protocols such as confidentiality or authenticationprotocols. However, due to their abstract communication model, existing results and tools do not apply to distance bounding protocols.In this paper, we consider a symbolic model suitable to analysedistance bounding protocols, and we propose a new procedure foranalysing (a bounded number of sessions of) protocols in this model.The procedure has been integrated in the Akisstool and tested on various distance bounding and payment protocols (e.g.MasterCard, NXP).
