This PhD thesis focuses on fair exchange protocols and radio frequency identification protocols. Fair exchange stems from a daily life problem: how can two people exchange objects (material or immaterial) fairly, that is, without anyone being hurt in the e ...
In this work, we address the security of VANETs. We provide a detailed threat analysis and devise an appropriate security architecture. We also describe some major design decisions still to be made, which in some cases have more than mere technical implica ...
Securing ad hoc networks is notoriously challenging, notably due to the lack of an on-line infrastructure. In particular, key management is a problem that has been addressed by many researchers but with limited results. In this paper, we consider the case ...
In the North as in the South, we like the big cities, but we do not like violence. A fashionable exercice is to allocate reasons to the poorest inhabitants, then to adopt, to fight them, security strategies: our societies are quickly transformed into socie ...
Inter-Vehicular Communications (IVC) are a cornerstone of the future intelligent transportation systems. A crucial enabling component of IVC is its security and privacy. Indeed, as vehicular computing systems become interconnected, there will be new venues ...
We present a new undeniable signature scheme which is based on the computation of characters. Our signature scheme offers the advantage of having an arbitrarily short signature. Its asymptotic complexity is attractive: the asymptotic complexity of all algo ...
Road safety, traffic management, and driver convenience continue to improve, in large part thanks to appropriate usage of information technology. But this evolution has deep implications for security and privacy, which the research community has overlooked ...
The fair exchange problem is key to trading electronic items in systems of mutually untrusted parties. In modern variants of such systems, each party is equipped with a tamper proof security module. The security modules trust each other but can only commun ...
In this paper, we describe the design of a new family of block ciphers based on a Lai-Massey scheme, named FOX. The main features of this design, besides a very high security level, are a large implementation flexibility on various platforms as well as hig ...
In 2002, Murphy and Robshaw introduced an extension BES of AES and argued this could compromise the security of AES. We introduce here two block-ciphers CES and big-BES that are some extensions of the AES and BES respectively in the spirit of Hensel liftin ...
