Computational aspects of correlation power analysis

Joppe Willem Bos, Paul Bottinelli

Since the discovery of simple power attacks, the cryptographic research community has developed significantly more advanced attack methods. The idea behind most algorithms remains to perform a statistical analysis by correlating the power trace obtained wh ...

Enhancing Privacy Protection

Rafik Chaabouni

Privacy has recently gained an importance beyond the field of cryptography. In that regard, the main goal behind this thesis is to enhance privacy protection. All of the necessary mathematical and cryptographic preliminaries are introduced at the start of ...

Secure Transmission on the Two-Hop Relay Channel With Scaled Compute-and-Forward

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Jasper Goseling

Abstract: In this paper, we consider communication on a two-hop channel in which a source wants to send information reliably and securely to the destination via a relay. We consider both the untrusted relay case and the external eavesdropper case. In the u ...

Signature Schemes Secure Against Hard-to-Invert Leakage

Sebastian Faust

Side-channel attacks allow the adversary to gain partial knowledge of the secret key when cryptographic protocols are implemented in real-world hardware. The goal of leakage resilient cryptography is to design cryptosystems that withstand such attacks. In ...

Creating Secrets Out Of Packet Erasures

Christina Fragouli, László Czap, Iris Safaka

We present protocols for creating pairwise secrets between nodes in a wireless network, so that these secrets are secure from an eavesdropper, Eve, with unbounded computational and memory capabilities, but with limited network presence. We first present a ...

Building Security Protocols Against Powerful Adversaries

Iris Safaka

As our sensitive data is increasingly carried over the Internet and stored remotely, security in communications becomes a fundamental requirement. Yet, today's security practices are designed around assumptions the validity of which is being challenged. In ...

Efficiently Making Secure Two-Party Computation Fair

Handan Kilinç Alper

Secure two-party computation cannot be fair against malicious adversaries, unless a trusted third party (TTP) or a gradual-release type super-constant round protocol is employed. Existing optimistic fair two-party computation protocols with constant rounds ...

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 ...

Keeping Authorities “Honest or Bust” with Decentralized Witness Cosigning

Bryan Alexander Ford, Linus Gasser, Philipp Svetolik Jovanovic, Nicolas Gailly, Ismail Khoffi

Abstract—The secret keys of critical network authorities – such as time, name, certificate, and software update services – represent high-value targets for hackers, criminals, and spy agencies wishing to use these keys secretly to compromise other hosts. T ...

Open, privacy-preserving protocols for lawful surveillance

Bryan Alexander Ford

The question of how government agencies can acquire actionable, useful information about legitimate but unknown targets without intruding upon the electronic activity of innocent parties is extremely important. We address this question by providing experim ...
