Robust Sparse Voting

Rachid Guerraoui, Le Nguyen Hoang, Youssef Allouah, Oscar Jean Olivier Villemaud

Many applications, such as content moderation and recommendation, require reviewing and scoring a large number of alternatives. Doing so robustly is however very challenging. Indeed, voters' inputs are inevitably sparse: most alternatives are only scored b ...

Predicting party switching through machine learning and open data

Silvestro Micera, Emanuele Rossi

Parliament dynamics might seem erratic at times. Predicting future voting patterns could support policy design based on the simulation of voting scenarios. The availability of open data on legislative activities and machine learning tools might enable such ...

Attacks on some post-quantum cryptographic protocols: The case of the Legendre PRF and SIKE

Novak Kaluderovic

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 ...

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 ...

Implications of Position in Cryptography

Handan Kilinç Alper

In our daily lives, people or devices frequently need to learn their location for many reasons as some services depend on the absolute location or the proximity. The outcomes of positioning systems can have critical effects e.g., on military, emergency. Th ...

Efficient Public-Key Distance Bounding Protocol

Serge Vaudenay, Handan Kilinç Alper

Distance bounding protocols become more and more important because they are the most accurate solution to defeat relay attacks. They consist of two parties: a verifier and a prover. The prover shows that (s)he is close enough to the verifier. In some appli ...

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 ...

Secure and Private Proofs for Location-Based Activity Summaries in Urban Areas

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Igor Bilogrevic, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Thi Van Anh Pham

Activity-based social networks, where people upload and share information about their location-based activities (e.g., the routes of their activities), are increasingly popular. Such systems, however, raise privacy and security issues: the service provider ...

Bounded Tamper Resilience: How to go beyond the Algebraic Barrier

Sebastian Faust

Related key attacks (RKAs) are powerful cryptanalytic attacks where an adversary can change the secret key and observe the effect of such changes at the output. The state of the art in RKA security protects against an a-priori unbounded number of certain a ...

Statistical and Algebraic Cryptanalysis of Lightweight and Ultra-Lightweight Symmetric Primitives

Pouyan Sepehrdad

Symmetric cryptographic primitives such as block and stream ciphers are the building blocks in many cryptographic protocols. Having such blocks which provide provable security against various types of attacks is often hard. On the other hand, if possible, ...

Faster Software Cryptography

Dag Arne Osvik

This thesis presents work on the efficiency and security of cryptographic software. First it describes several efforts to construct very efficient implementations of cryptographic primitives. These include the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as well as ...

Additive Combinatorics and Discrete Logarithm Based Range Protocols

Rafik Chaabouni, Helger Lipmaa

We show how to express an arbitrary integer interval

I = \sum_{i=1}^\ell G_i * [0, u - 1] + [0, H']

of smaller integer intervals for some small values

Secure communication using authenticated channels

Sylvain Pasini

Our main motivation is to design more user-friendly security protocols. Indeed, if the use of the protocol is tedious, most users will not behave correctly and, consequently, security issues occur. An example is the actual behavior of a user in front of an ...

Architecture for Secure and Private Vehicular Communications

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Levente Buttyan, Maxime Raya, Panagiotis Papadimitratos

The deployment of vehicular communication (VC) systems is strongly dependent on their security and privacy features. In this paper, we propose a security architecture for VC. The primary objectives of the architecture include the management of identities a ...

Mix-Zones for Location Privacy in Vehicular Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Julien Freudiger, Mark Felegyhazi, Maxime Raya, Panagiotis Papadimitratos

Vehicular Networks (VNs) seek to provide, among other applications, safer driving conditions. To do so, vehicles need to periodically broadcast safety messages providing precise position information to nearby vehicles. However, this frequent messaging (e.g ...

Passive-Only Key Recovery Attacks on RC4

Martin Vuagnoux, Serge Vaudenay

We present several weaknesses in the key scheduling algorithm of RC4 when the secret key contains an initialization vector - a cryptographic scheme typically used by the WEP and WPA protocols to protect IEEE 802.11 wireless communications. First, we show h ...

On Bluetooth repairing: key agreement based on symmetric-key cryptography

Serge Vaudenay

Despite many good (secure) key agreement protocols based on public-key cryptography exist, secure associations between two wireless devices are often established using symmetric-key cryptography for cost reasons. The consequence is that common daily used s ...
