Since the advent of internet and mass communication, two public-key cryptographic algorithms have shared the monopoly of data encryption and authentication: Diffie-Hellman and RSA.
However, in the last few years, progress made in quantum physics -- and mo ...
In this paper, we propose Rocca-S, an authenticated encryption scheme with a 256-bit key and a 256-bit tag targeting 6G applications bootstrapped from AES. Rocca-S achieves an encryption/decryption speed of more than 200 Gbps in the latest software environ ...
Post-quantum cryptography is a branch of cryptography which deals with cryptographic algorithms whose hardness assumptions are not based on problems known to be solvable by a quantum computer, such as the RSA problem, factoring or discrete logarithms.
This ...
Lightweight cryptography was developed in response to the increasing need to secure devices for the Internet of Things. After significant research effort, many new block ciphers have been designed targeting lightweight settings, optimizing efficiency metri ...
We propose pure OMD (p-OMD) as a new variant of the Offset Merkle-Damgård (OMD) authenticated encryption scheme. Our new scheme inherits all desirable security features of OMD while having a more compact structure and providing higher efficiency. The origi ...
Key schedules in lightweight block ciphers are often highly simplified, which causes weakness that can be exploited in many attacks. Today it remains an open problem on how to use limited operations to guarantee enough diffusion of key bits in lightweight ...
We propose HELEN, a code-based public-key cryptosystem whose security is based on the hardness of the Learning from Parity with Noise problem (LPN) and the decisional minimum distance problem. We show that the resulting cryptosystem achieves indistinguisha ...
We propose HELEN, a new code-based public-key cryptosystem whose security is based on the hardness of the Learning from Parity with Noise problem~(LPN) and the decisional minimum distance problem. We show that the resulting cryptosystem achieves indistingu ...
This PhD thesis is concerned with authentication protocols using portable lightweight devices such as RFID tags. these devices have lately gained a significant attention for the diversity of the applications that could benefit form their features, ranging ...
he Vaudenay model for RFID privacy from Asiacrypt 2007 suffers from the impossibility to address strong privacy. It has however been shown by Ng et al. at ESORICS 2008 that the impossibility result leads to no practical threat, so that the definition from ...
The idea to use error-correcting codes in order to construct public key cryptosystems was published in 1978 by McEliece [ME1978]. In his original construction, McEliece used Goppa codes, but various later publications suggested the use of different familie ...
