We introduce a class of tree automata that perform tests on a memory that is updated using function symbol application and projection. The language emptiness problem for this class of tree automata is shown to be in DEXPTIME. We also introduce a class of set constraints with equality tests and prove its decidability by completion techniques and a reduction to tree automata with one memory. Set constraints with equality tests may be used to decide secrecy for a class of cryptographic protocols that properly contains a class of memoryless ping-pong protocols introduced by Dolev and Yao. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
