Authenticated private information retrieval

Bryan Alexander Ford, Simone Maria Stefano Colombo, Henry Nathaniel Corrigan-Gibbs, Kirill Nikitin

This paper introduces protocols for authenticated private information retrieval. These schemes enable a client to fetch a record from a remote database server such that (a) the server does not learn which record the client reads, and (b) the client either ...

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 ...

Trust as a Programming Primitive

Adrien Ghosn

Programming has changed; programming languages have not.Modern software embraced reusable software components, i.e., public libraries, and runs in the cloud, on machines that co-locate applications from various origins.This new programming paradigm leads t ...

SafetyPin: Encrypted Backups with Human-Memorable Secrets

Henry Nathaniel Corrigan-Gibbs

We present the design and implementation of SafetyPin, a system for encrypted mobile-device backups. Like existing cloud-based mobile-backup systems, including those of Apple and Google, SafetyPin requires users to remember only a short PIN and defends aga ...

Encrypted DNS double right arrow Privacy? A Traffic Analysis Perspective

Carmela González Troncoso, Sandra Deepthy Siby, Narseo Vallina Rodriguez

Virtually every connection to an Internet service is preceded by a DNS lookup. Lookups are performed without any traffic-level protection, thus enabling manipulation, redirection, surveillance, and censorship. To address these issues, large organizations s ...

BioID: a Privacy-Friendly Identity Document

Serge Vaudenay, Muhammed Fatih Balli, Fatma Betül Durak

We design a suite of protocols so that a small tamper-resistant device can be used as a biometric identity document which can be scanned by authorized terminals. We target both strongly secure identification and strong privacy. Unlike biometric passports, ...

On the Security of Two-Round Multi-Signatures

Bryan Alexander Ford, Manu Drijvers

A multi-signature scheme allows a group of signers to collaboratively sign a message, creating a single signature that convinces a verifier that every individual signer approved the message. The increased interest in technologies to decentralize trust has ...
