Authenticated private information retrieval

Simone Maria Stefano Colombo, Kirill Nikitin, Bryan Alexander Ford, Henry Nathaniel Corrigan-Gibbs

This paper introduces protocols for authenticated private information retrieval. These schemes enable a client to fetch a record from a remote database server such that (a) the server does not learn which record the client reads, and (b) the client either ...

Integrity and Metadata Protection in Data Retrieval

Kirill Nikitin

Secure retrieval of data requires integrity, confidentially, transparency, and metadata-privacy of the process. Existing protection mechanisms, however, provide only partially these properties: encryption schemes still expose cleartext metadata, protocols ...

Replicated state machines without replicated execution

Kirill Nikitin

This paper introduces a new approach to reduce end-to-end costs in large-scale replicated systems built under a Byzantine fault model. Specifically, our approach transforms a given replicated state machine (RSM) to another RSM where nodes incur lower costs ...

Reducing Metadata Leakage from Encrypted Files and Communication with PURBs

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Ludovic Barman, Kirill Nikitin, Matthew Joshua Underwood, Bryan Alexander Ford, Wouter Lueks

Most encrypted data formats leak metadata via their plaintext headers, such as format version, encryption schemes used, number of recipients who can decrypt the data, and even the recipients’ identities. This leakage can pose security and privacy risks to ...

CHAINIAC: Proactive Software-Update Transparency via Collectively Signed Skipchains and Verified Builds

Linus Gasser, Nicolas Gailly, Kirill Nikitin, Eleftherios Kokoris Kogias, Bryan Alexander Ford, Ismail Khoffi, Philipp Svetolik Jovanovic

Software-update mechanisms are critical to the security of modern systems, but their typically centralized design presents a lucrative and frequently attacked target. In this work, we propose CHAINIAC, a decentralized software-update framework that elimina ...
