Efficient protocols for oblivious linear function evaluation from ring-LWE
An oblivious linear function evaluation protocol, or OLE, is a two-party protocol for the function f (x) = ax + b, where a sender inputs the field elements a, b, and a receiver inputs x and learns f (x). OLE can be used to build secret-shared multiplicatio ...
IOS PRESS2022Differentially Private Multi-Agent Constraint Optimization
Boi Faltings, Sujit Prakash Gujar, Aleksei Triastcyn, Sankarshan Damle
Several optimization scenarios involve multiple agents that desire to protect the privacy of their preferences. There are distributed algorithms for constraint optimization that provide improved privacy protection through secure multiparty computation. How ...
ACM2022Spatial Isolation Implies Zero Knowledge Even in a Quantum World
Zero knowledge plays a central role in cryptography and complexity. The seminal work of Ben-Or et al. (STOC 1988) shows that zero knowledge can be achieved unconditionally for any language in NEXP, as long as one is willing to make a suitable physical assu ...
ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2022A Low-Complexity LoRa Synchronization Algorithm Robust to Sampling Time Offsets
Orion Afisiadis, Mathieu Pierre Xhonneux
LoRaWAN is nowadays one of the most popular protocols for low-power Internet of Things communications. Although its physical layer, namely LoRa, has been thoroughly studied in the literature, aspects related to the synchronization of LoRa receivers have re ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2022Attacks on some post-quantum cryptographic protocols: The case of the Legendre PRF and SIKE
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 ...
EPFL2022Optimal Symmetric Ratcheting for Secure Communication
Serge Vaudenay, Andrea Felice Caforio, Daniel Patrick Collins, Hailun Yan
To mitigate state exposure threats to long-lived instant messaging sessions, ratcheting was introduced, which is used in practice in protocols like Signal. However, existing ratcheting protocols generally come with a high cost. Recently, Caforio et al. pro ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2022Heteroatom oxidation controls singlet-triplet energy splitting in singlet fission building blocks
Yuri Cho, Sergio Vela Llausi, Maria Fumanal Quintana, Jacob Terence Blaskovits
Singlet fission (SF) is a promising multiexciton-generating process. Its demanding energy splitting criterion - that the S-1 energy must be at least twice that of T-1 - has limited the range of materials capable of SF. We propose heteroatom oxidation as a ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2021Secrecy by Design With Applications to Privacy and Compression
Secrecy by design is examined as an approach to information-theoretic secrecy. The main idea behind this approach is to design an information processing system from the ground up to be perfectly secure with respect to an explicit secrecy constraint. The pr ...
2021Multiparty Homomorphic Encryption from Ring-Learning-with-Errors
Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza, Jean-Philippe Léonard Bossuat, Christian Vincent Mouchet
We propose and evaluate a secure-multiparty-computation (MPC) solution in the semi-honest model with dishonest majority that is based on multiparty homomorphic encryption (MHE). To support our solution, we introduce a multiparty version of the Brakerski-Fa ...
2021Integrity and Metadata Protection in Data Retrieval
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 ...
