On the Theory and Practice of Modern Secure Messaging

Billions of people now have conversations daily over the Internet. A large portion of this communication takes place via secure messaging protocols that offer "end-to-end encryption'" guarantees and resilience to compromise like the widely-used Double Ratc ...

Scalable and Privacy-Preserving Federated Principal Component Analysis

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza, Jean-Philippe Léonard Bossuat, Apostolos Pyrgelis, David Jules Froelicher, Joao André Gomes de Sá e Sousa

Principal component analysis (PCA) is an essential algorithm for dimensionality reduction in many data science domains. We address the problem of performing a federated PCA on private data distributed among multiple data providers while ensuring data confi ...

Thwarting Malicious Adversaries in Homomorphic Encryption Pipelines

Sylvain Chatel

Homomorphic Encryption (HE) enables computations to be executed directly on encrypted data. As such, it is an auspicious solution for protecting the confidentiality of sensitive data without impeding its usability. However, HE does not provide any guarante ...

Analysis and Improvements of the Sender Keys Protocol for Group Messaging

Daniel Patrick Collins

Messaging between two parties and in the group setting has enjoyed widespread attention both in practice, and, more recently, from the cryptographic community. One of the main challenges in the area is constructing secure (end-to- end encrypted) and effici ...

Moby: A Blackout-Resistant Anonymity Network for Mobile Devices

Bryan Alexander Ford, Antoine Rault, Amogh Pradeep, Hira Javaid

Internet blackouts are challenging environments for anonymity and censorship resistance. Existing popular anonymity networks (e.g., Freenet, I2P, Tor) rely on Internet connectivity to function, making them impracticable during such blackouts. In such a set ...

Verifiable Encodings for Secure Homomorphic Analytics

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Sylvain Chatel, Apostolos Pyrgelis, Christian Louis Knabenhans

Homomorphic encryption, which enables the execution of arithmetic operations directly on ciphertexts, is a promising solution for protecting privacy of cloud-delegated computations on sensitive data. However, the correctness of the computation result is no ...

Analyzing and Protecting Communication Metadata

Ludovic Barman

Most communication systems (e.g., e-mails, instant messengers, VPNs) use encryption to prevent third parties from learning sensitive information.However, encrypted communications protect the contents but often leak metadata: the amount of data sent and the ...

Crypt4GH: a file format standard enabling native access to encrypted data

Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza

Motivation: The majority of genome analysis tools and pipelines require data to be decrypted for access. This potentially leaves sensitive genetic data exposed, either because the unencrypted data is not removed after analysis, or because the data leaves t ...

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 ...

SafetyPin: Encrypted Backups with Human-Memorable Secrets

Henry Nathaniel Corrigan-Gibbs

We present the design and implementation of SafetyPin, a system for encrypted mobile-device backups. Like existing cloud-based mobile-backup systems, including those of Apple and Google, SafetyPin requires users to remember only a short PIN and defends aga ...
