Security Vulnerabilities of the Cisco IOS Implementation of the MPLS Transport Profile

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Sergio Barreto Andrade, Teklemariam Tsegay Tesfay, Udaya Upul Kumara Jayasinghe, Miroslav Popovic

We are interested in the security of the MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP), in the context of smart-grid communication networks. The security guidelines of the MPLS-TP standards are written in a complex and indirect way, which led us to pose as hypothesis t ...

Cryptographic Hash Functions in Groups and Provable Properties

Juraj Sarinay

We consider several "provably secure" hash functions that compute simple sums in a well chosen group (G,*). Security properties of such functions provably translate in a natural way to computational problems in G that are simple to define and possibly also ...

The Inconvenient Truth about Web Certificates

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Julien Freudiger, Nevena Vratonjic, Vincent Bindschaedler

HTTPS is the de facto standard for securing Internet communications. Although it is widely deployed, the security provided with HTTPS in practice is dubious. HTTPS may fail to provide security for multiple reasons, mostly due to certificate-based authentic ...

A Note on a Privacy-Preserving Distance-Bounding Protocol

Aikaterini Mitrokotsa, Jean-Philippe Aumasson

Distance bounding protocols enable a device to establish an upper bound on the physical distance to a communication partner so as to prevent location spoofing, as exploited by relay attacks. Recently, Rasmussen and Cˇapkun (ACM-CCS’08) observed that these ...

Short Undeniable Signatures Based on Group Homomorphisms

Serge Vaudenay, Jean Monnerat

This paper is devoted to the design and analysis of short undeniable signatures based on a random oracle. Exploiting their online property, we can achieve signatures with a fully scalable size depending on the security level. To this end, we develop a gene ...
