Method for Generating an HTML Document that Contains Encrypted Files and the Code Necessary for Decrypting Them When a Valid Passphrase is Provided

Radhakrishna Achanta, Thomas Lochmatter

A computer implemented method for encrypting one or more files and wrapping them in an HTML document. The HTML document contains the encrypted files, the necessary code to decrypt the files, as well as user interface code to receive a passphrase input from ...

Tornado Attack on RC4 with Applications to WEP & WPA

Serge Vaudenay, Martin Vuagnoux, Pouyan Sepehrdad, Petr Susil

In this paper, we construct several tools for building and manipulating pools of biases in the analysis of RC4. We report extremely fast and optimized active and passive attacks against IEEE 802.11 wireless communication protocol WEP and a key recovery and ...

Analysis of shear-transfer actions on one-way RC members based on measured cracking pattern and failure kinematics

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Stefano Campana, Andrea Anastasi

Shear in one-way reinforced concrete (RC) members is transferred in cracked concrete members by a number of actions such as aggregate interlock, residual tensile stresses, dowelling action, inclination of compression chord and transverse reinforcement (if ...

Smashing WEP in A Passive Attack

Serge Vaudenay, Martin Vuagnoux, Pouyan Sepehrdad, Petr Susil

In this paper, we report extremely fast and optimised active and passive attacks against the old IEEE 802.11 wireless communication protocol WEP. This was achieved through a huge amount of theoretical and experimental analysis (capturing WiFi packets), ref ...

Using the Cloud to Determine Key Strengths

Arjen Lenstra, Thorsten Kleinjung

We develop a new methodology to assess cryptographic key strength using cloud computing, by calculating the true economic cost of (symmetric- or private-) key retrieval for the most common cryptographic primitives. Although the present paper gives the curr ...

Secure communication using authenticated channels

Sylvain Pasini

Our main motivation is to design more user-friendly security protocols. Indeed, if the use of the protocol is tedious, most users will not behave correctly and, consequently, security issues occur. An example is the actual behavior of a user in front of an ...

Features extraction for low-power face verification

Patrick Stadelmann

Mobile communication devices now available on the market, such as so-called smartphones, are far more advanced than the first cellular phones that became very popular one decade ago. In addition to their historical purpose, namely enabling wireless vocal c ...

Hash-and-Sign with Weak Hashing Made Secure

Serge Vaudenay, Sylvain Pasini

Digital signatures are often proven to be secure in the random oracle model while hash functions deviate more and more from this idealization. Liskov proposed to model a weak hash function by a random oracle together with another oracle allowing to break s ...

A SafeWord Silver authentication token

Arjen Lenstra

The SafeWord Silver authentication token is a small hard- ware device. It generates one-time passwords consisting of 6 hexadecimal digits. In this note it is shown that if a few dozen consecutive passwords and the first digit of the next one are known for ...

Joint Speech and Speaker Recognition

The goal of the present thesis was to investigate and optimize different approaches towards User-Customized Password Speaker Verification (UCP-SV) systems. In such systems, users can choose their own passwords, which will be subsequently used for verificat ...
