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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Symmetry in design and decoding of polar-like codes

Kirill Ivanov

The beginning of 21st century provided us with many answers about how to reach the channel capacity. Polarization and spatial coupling are two techniques for achieving the capacity of binary memoryless symmetric channels under low-complexity decoding algor ...

Efficient protocols for oblivious linear function evaluation from ring-LWE

Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza

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 ...

Beyond Security and Efficiency: On-Demand Ratcheting with Security Awareness

Serge Vaudenay, Andrea Felice Caforio, Fatma Betül Durak

Secure asynchronous two-party communication applies ratcheting to strengthen privacy, in the presence of internal state exposures. Security with ratcheting is provided in two forms: forward security and post-compromise security. There have been several suc ...

Time in cryptography

Gwangbae Choi

Time travel has always been a fascinating topic in literature and physics. In cryptography, one may wonder how to keep data confidential for some time. In this dissertation, we will study how to make private information travel to the future. This dissertat ...

Symmetric Asynchronous Ratcheted Communication with Associated Data

Serge Vaudenay, Hailun Yan

Following up mass surveillance and privacy issues, modern secure communication protocols now seek strong security, such as forward secrecy and post-compromise security, in the face of state exposures. To address this problem, ratcheting was thereby introdu ...

Determining the Core Primitive for Optimally Secure Ratcheting

Serge Vaudenay, Muhammed Fatih Balli

After ratcheting attracted attention mostly due to practical real-world protocols, recently a line of work studied ratcheting as a primitive from a theoretic point of view. Literature in this line, pursuing the strongest security of ratcheting one can hope ...

Are Cloud FPGAs Really Vulnerable to Power Analysis Attacks?

Francesco Regazzoni, Mirjana Stojilovic, Louis Coulon, Ognjen Glamocanin

Recent works have demonstrated the possibility of extracting secrets from a cryptographic core running on an FPGA by means of remote power analysis attacks. To mount these attacks, an adversary implements a voltage fluctuation sensor in the FPGA logic, rec ...
