Towards Secure Distance Bounding

Serge Vaudenay, Aikaterini Mitrokotsa

Relay attacks (and, more generally, man-in-the-middle attacks) are a serious threat against many access control and payment schemes. In this work, we present distance-bounding protocols, how these can deter relay attacks, and the security models formalizin ...

Secure & Lightweight Distance-Bounding

Serge Vaudenay, Aikaterini Mitrokotsa

Distance-bounding is a practical solution to be used in security-sensitive contexts, mainly to prevent relay attacks. The main challenge when designing such protocols is maintaining their inexpensive cryptographic nature, whilst being able to protect again ...

Distributed real-time dynamic security assessment using intelligent techniques

Maher Kayal, Theodoros Kyriakidis, Karthik Kumar

In real time scenario, transmission (of power) in power systems may not be always ideal i.e. they may be interrupted. As a result, the synchronization among the power generating modules may be lost. Loss of synchronization has a direct effect on the stabil ...

Scalable and Secure Polling in Dynamic Distributed Networks

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Hamza Harkous, Florian Huc

We consider the problem of securely conducting a poll in synchronous dynamic networks equipped with a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Whereas previous distributed solutions had a communication cost of O(n^2) in an n nodes system, we present SPP (Secure an ...

Unconditionally-Secure Robust Secret Sharing with Compact Shares

Alfonso Bolívar Cevallos Manzano

We consider the problem of reconstructing a shared secret in the presence of faulty shares, with unconditional security. We require that any t shares give no information on the shared secret, and reconstruction is possible even if up to t out of the n shar ...
