Better Algorithms for LWE and LWR

Serge Vaudenay, Alexandre Raphaël Duc, Florian Tramèr

The Learning With Error problem (LWE) is becoming more and more used in cryptography, for instance, in the design of some fully homomorphic encryption schemes. It is thus of primordial importance to find the best algorithms that might solve this problem so ...

Practical and Provably Secure Distance-Bounding

Serge Vaudenay, Aikaterini Mitrokotsa

From contactless payments to remote car unlocking, many applications are vulnerable to relay attacks. Distance bounding protocols are the main practical countermeasure against these attacks. In this paper, we present a formal analysis of SKI, which recentl ...

Optimal Proximity Proofs Revisited

Serge Vaudenay, Handan Kilinç Alper

Distance bounding protocols become important since wireless technologies become more and more common. Therefore, the security of the distance bounding protocol should be carefully analyzed. However, most of the protocols are not secure or their security is ...

Towards a High-Speed Quantum Random Number Generator

Edoardo Charbon, Francesco Regazzoni, Samuel Burri

Randomness is of fundamental importance in various fields, such as cryptography, numerical simulations, or the gaming industry. Quantum physics, which is fundamentally probabilistic, is the best option for a physical random number generator. In this articl ...

Design and Analysis of Multi-Block-Length Hash Functions

Onur Özen

Cryptographic hash functions are used in many cryptographic applications, and the design of provably secure hash functions (relative to various security notions) is an active area of research. Most of the currently existing hash functions use the Merkle-Da ...

A cryptographically t-private auction system

Tiark Rompf

We present a cryptographically t-private protocol for electronic auctions whose low resource demands make it viable for practical use. Our construction is based on Yao's garbled circuits and pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs). Our protocol involves a f ...

Applications of Derandomization Theory in Coding

Mahdi Cheraghchi Bashi Astaneh

Randomized techniques play a fundamental role in theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics, in particular for the design of efficient algorithms and construction of combinatorial objects. The basic goal in derandomization theory is to eliminate ...

Derandomization and Group Testing

Mahdi Cheraghchi Bashi Astaneh

The rapid development of derandomization theory, which is a fundamental area in theoretical computer science, has recently led to many surprising applications outside its initial intention. We will review some recent such developments related to combinator ...

Mutual Authentication in RFID: Security and Privacy

Serge Vaudenay, Radu-Ioan Paise

In RFID protocols, tags identify and authenticate themselves to readers. At Asiacrypt 2007, Vaudenay studied security and privacy models for these protocols. We extend this model to protocols which offer reader authentication to tags. Whenever corruption i ...

Quantitative security of block ciphers

Thomas Baignères

Block ciphers probably figure in the list of the most important cryptographic primitives. Although they are used for many different purposes, their essential goal is to ensure confidentiality. This thesis is concerned by their quantitative security, that i ...
