Secret Key Generation Using Short Blocklength Polar Coding Over Wireless Channels

This paper investigates the problem of secret key generation from correlated Gaussian random variables in the short blocklength regime. Short blocklengths are commonly employed in massively connected IoT sensor networks in 5G and beyond wireless systems. P ...

Secret Key Generation Over Wireless Channels Using Short Blocklength Multilevel Source Polar Coding

Yanina Yurina Shkel

This paper investigates the problem of secret key generation from correlated Gaussian random variables in the short block-length regime. Inspired by the state-of-the-art performance provided by polar codes in the short blocklength regime for channel coding ...

On Polar Coding For Finite Blocklength Secret Key Generation Over Wireless Channels

Yanina Yurina Shkel

We consider the problem of secret key generation from correlated Gaussian random variables in the finite blocklength regime. Such keys could be used to encrypt communication in IoT networks, and have provable secrecy guarantees in contrast to classic crypt ...

Method and apparatus for wireless validation

Serge Vaudenay, Handan Kilinç Alper

A wireless validation method between an first apparatus and a second apparatus comprising the following steps of communicating between the first apparatus and the second apparatus for agreeing in a protected way on a common symmetric key and performing a s ...

Cryptanalysis of chosen symmetric homomorphic schemes

Serge Vaudenay, Damian Vizár

Since Gentry’s breakthrough result was introduced in the year 2009, the homomorphic encryption has become a very popular topic. The main contribution of Gentry’s thesis was, that it has proven, that it actually is possible to design a fully homomorphic enc ...

Triangle Network Secrecy

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, László Czap, Vinod Malathidevi Prabhakaran

We characterize the secret message capacity of the triangle network, that consists of a source, a relay and a destination connected through orthogonal erasure channels. A passive eavesdropper, Eve, wiretaps any one of the three channels. The source and the ...

Primeless Factoring-Based Cryptography

Serge Vaudenay, Sonia Mihaela Bogos, Ioana Cristina Carlson

Factoring-based public-key cryptosystems have an overall complexity which is dominated by the key-production algorithm, which requires the generation of prime numbers. This is most inconvenient in settings where the key-generation is not an one-off process ...

Primeless Modular Cryptography (Extended Abstract)

Serge Vaudenay, Sonia Mihaela Bogos, Ioana Cristina Carlson

Most of the known public-key cryptosystems have an overall complexity which is dominated by the key-production algorithm, which requires the generation of prime numbers. This is most inconvenient in settings where the key-generation is not an one-off proce ...

Secret message capacity of erasure broadcast channels with feedback

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, László Czap, Vinod Malathidevi Prabhakaran

We characterize the secret message capacity of a wiretapped erasure channel where causal channel state informa- tion of the honest nodes is publicly available. In doing so, we establish an intimate connection between message secrecy and secret key generati ...

Efficient Fail-Stop Signatures from the Factoring Assumption

Khaled Ouafi, Atefeh Mashatan

In this paper, we revisit the construction of fail-stop signatures from the factoring assumption. These signatures were originally proposed to provide information-theoretic-based security against forgeries. In contrast to classical signature schemes, in wh ...

Information-theoretic secrecy for wireless networks

Etienne Perron

The aim of information-theoretic secrecy is to ensure that an eavesdropper who listens to the wireless transmission of a message can only collect an arbitrarily small number of information bits about this message. In contrast to cryptography, there are no ...
