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 ...

Six shades lighter: a bit-serial implementation of the AES family

Subhadeep Banik, Muhammed Fatih Balli, Sergio Roldán Lombardía

Recently, cryptographic literature has seen new block cipher designs such as PRESENT, GIFT or SKINNY that aim to be more lightweight than the current standard, i.e., AES. Even though AES family of block ciphers were designed two decades ago, they still rem ...

Exploring Lightweight Efficiency of Forkaes

Subhadeep Banik, Muhammed Fatih Balli

Recently the ForkAES construction was proposed by Andreeva et al. for efficiently performing authenticated encryption of very short messages on next generation IoT devices. The ForkAES tweakable block cipher uses around one and a half AES encryption calls ...

Improving Stateless Hash-Based Signatures

Jean-Philippe Aumasson

present several optimizations to SPHINCS, a stateless hash-based signature scheme proposed by Bernstein et al. in (2015): PORS, a more secure variant of the HORS few-time signature scheme used in SPHINCS; secret key caching, to speed-up signing and reduce ...

Instruction Set Extensions for Secure Applications

Paolo Ienne, Francesco Regazzoni

The main goal of this paper is to expose the community to past achievements and future possible uses of Instruction Set Extension (ISE) in security applications. Processor customization has proven to be an effective way for achieving high performance with ...

Secure Wireless Communications via Cooperative Transmitting

Ninoslav Marina

Information-theoretic secrecy is combined with cryptographic secrecy to create a secret-key exchange protocol for wireless networks. A network of transmitters, which already have cryptographically secured channels between them, cooperate to exchange a secr ...

On Selecting the Nonce Length in Distance-Bounding Protocols

Serge Vaudenay, Christos Dimitrakakis, Aikaterini Mitrokotsa

Distance-bounding protocols form a family of challenge-response authentication protocols that have been introduced to thwart relay attacks. They enable a verifier to authenticate and to establish an upper bound on the physical distance to an untrusted prov ...

The Inconvenient Truth about Web Certificates

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Julien Freudiger, Nevena Vratonjic, Vincent Bindschaedler

HTTPS is the de facto standard for securing Internet communications. Although it is widely deployed, the security provided with HTTPS in practice is dubious. HTTPS may fail to provide security for multiple reasons, mostly due to certificate-based authentic ...

Authentication of secure items by shape level lines

Roger Hersch, Sylvain Chosson

The disclosed method and system may be used for creating advanced protection means for various categories of documents (e.g. bank notes, identity documents, certificates, checks, diploma, travel documents, tickets) and valuable products (e.g. optical disks ...

Noisy Tags: A Pretty Good Key Exchange Protocol for RFID Tags

Gildas Avoine

We propose a protocol that can be used between an RFID tag and a reader to exchange a secret without performing any expensive computation. Similarly to the famous blocker tag suggested by Juels, Rivest, and Szydlo, our scheme makes use of special tags that ...
