Cryptographic Administration for Secure Group Messaging

Many real-world group messaging systems delegate group administration to the application level, failing to provide formal guarantees related to group membership. Taking a cryptographic approach to group administration can prevent both implementation and pr ...

PROFACTORY: Improving IoT Security via Formalized Protocol Customization

Mathias Josef Payer, Fei Wang, Duo Xu, Xiangyu Zhang

As IoT applications gain widespread adoption, it becomes important to design and implement IoT protocols with security. Existing research in protocol security reveals that the majority of disclosed protocol vulnerabilities are caused by incorrectly impleme ...

Analysis and Improvements of the Sender Keys Protocol for Group Messaging

Daniel Patrick Collins

Messaging between two parties and in the group setting has enjoyed widespread attention both in practice, and, more recently, from the cryptographic community. One of the main challenges in the area is constructing secure (end-to- end encrypted) and effici ...

Optimal Symmetric Ratcheting for Secure Communication

Serge Vaudenay, Andrea Felice Caforio, Daniel Patrick Collins, Hailun Yan

To mitigate state exposure threats to long-lived instant messaging sessions, ratcheting was introduced, which is used in practice in protocols like Signal. However, existing ratcheting protocols generally come with a high cost. Recently, Caforio et al. pro ...

Decentralized Polling with Respectable Participants

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Maxime Monod, Kévin Clément Huguenin

We consider the polling problem in a social network where participants care about their reputation: they do not want their vote to be disclosed nor their misbehaving, if any, to be publicly exposed. Assuming this reputation concern, we show that a simple s ...

SAS-based Authenticated Key Agreement

Serge Vaudenay, Sylvain Pasini

Key agreement protocols are frequently based on the Diffie-Hellman protocol but require authenticating the protocol messages in two ways. This can be made by a cross-authentication protocol. Such protocols, based on the assumption that a channel which can ...

Playback Delay and Buffering Optimization in Scalable Video Broadcasting

Pascal Frossard, Jean-Paul Wagner

This paper addresses the problem of optimizing the playback delay experienced by a population of heterogeneous clients, in video streaming applications. We consider a typical broadcast scenario, where clients subscribe to different portions of a scalable v ...
