On Modeling Terrorist Frauds

Serge Vaudenay

Quite recently, distance-bounding protocols received a lot of attention as they offer a good solution to thwart relay attacks. Their security models at still unstable, especially when considering terrorist fraud. This considers the case where a malicious p ...

Game Theory Meets Network Security and Privacy

Jean-Pierre Hubaux

This survey provides a structured and comprehensive overview of research on security and privacy in computer and communication networks that use game-theoretic approaches. We present a selected set of works to highlight the application of game theory in ad ...

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 ...

HELEN: A Public-Key Cryptosystem Based on the LPN and the Decisional Minimal Distance Problems

Serge Vaudenay, Alexandre Raphaël Duc

We propose HELEN, a code-based public-key cryptosystem whose security is based on the hardness of the Learning from Parity with Noise problem (LPN) and the decisional minimum distance problem. We show that the resulting cryptosystem achieves indistinguisha ...

Using Face Morphing to Protect Privacy

Touradj Ebrahimi

The widespread use of digital video surveillance systems has also increased the concerns for violation of privacy rights. Since video surveillance systems are invasive, it is a challenge to find an acceptable balance between privacy of the public under sur ...

On the Need for Secure Distance-Bounding

Serge Vaudenay, Aikaterini Mitrokotsa

Distance-bounding is a practical solution to prevent relay attacks. Yet, security models are not well-established. We will briefly show recent techniques that expose serious distance-frauds, mafia-frauds, and/or terrorist-frauds on distance-bounding protoc ...

Game Theory Meets Network Security and Privacy

Jean-Pierre Hubaux

This survey provides a structured and comprehensive overview of the research contributions that analyze and solve security and privacy problems in computer networks by game-theoretic approaches. A selected set of works are presented to highlight the applic ...

Ron was wrong, Whit is right

Arjen Lenstra, Joppe Willem Bos, Thorsten Kleinjung, Maxime Augier, Christophe Wachter

We performed a sanity check of public keys collected on the web. Our main goal was to test the validity of the assumption that different random choices are made each time keys are generated. We found that the vast majority of public keys work as intended. ...

HELEN: a Public-key Cryptosystem Based on the LPN Problem (Extended Abstract)

Serge Vaudenay, Alexandre Raphaël Duc

We propose HELEN, a new code-based public-key cryptosystem whose security is based on the hardness of the Learning from Parity with Noise problem~(LPN) and the decisional minimum distance problem. We show that the resulting cryptosystem achieves indistingu ...

Creating Shared Secrets out of Thin Air

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Iris Safaka

Current security systems typically rely on the adversary's computational limitations (e.g., the fact that it cannot invert a hash function or perform large-integer factorization). Wireless networks offer the opportunity for a different, complementary kind ...
