Statistical and Algebraic Cryptanalysis of Lightweight and Ultra-Lightweight Symmetric Primitives

Pouyan Sepehrdad

Symmetric cryptographic primitives such as block and stream ciphers are the building blocks in many cryptographic protocols. Having such blocks which provide provable security against various types of attacks is often hard. On the other hand, if possible, ...

Faster Software Cryptography

Dag Arne Osvik

This thesis presents work on the efficiency and security of cryptographic software. First it describes several efforts to construct very efficient implementations of cryptographic primitives. These include the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as well as ...

On the Cryptanalysis of Public-Key Cryptography

Joppe Willem Bos

Nowadays, the most popular public-key cryptosystems are based on either the integer factorization or the discrete logarithm problem. The feasibility of solving these mathematical problems in practice is studied and techniques are presented to speed-up the ...

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 ...

Adaptive Message Authentication for Multi-Hop Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Nikodin Ristanovic, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Georgios Theodorakopoulos

Recent benchmarks indicate that the use of public key cryptography results in non negligible verification times on platforms with limited processing power. In this paper, we focus on multi-hop Inter-Vehicle Communication and show that the increase in messa ...

Broadcast Encryption and Traitor Tracing for Conditional Access Systems

Alexandre Karlov

In the context of the thesis we are studying the notions of broadcast encryption and traitor tracing in an industrial framework of conditional access systems related to Pay-TV. Broadcast encryption represents a cryptographic primitive which allows confiden ...

Model Checking Security Protocols: A Multiagent System Approach

Security protocols specify the communication required to achieve security objectives, e.g., data-privacy. Such protocols are used in electronic media: e-commerce, e-banking, e-voting, etc. Formal verification is used to discover protocol-design flaws. In t ...

A First Step Towards Automatic Application of Power Analysis Countermeasures

Paolo Ienne, Francesco Regazzoni, Philip Brisk, Ali Galip Bayrak

In cryptography, side channel attacks, such as power analysis, attempt to uncover secret information from the physical implementation of cryptosystems rather than exploiting weaknesses in the cryptographic algorithms themselves. The design and implementati ...

A Mobile World of Security

Christine Neuberg

Security in mobile communications is a topic of increasing relevance in everyday life. We all use mobile devices for everyday communications, maybe even for exchanging confidential information with the work place. This requires security systems that are re ...

Spatio-temporal measurements and analysis of snow depth in a rock face

Michael Lehning

Snow in rock faces plays a key role in the alpine environment for permafrost distribution, snow water storage or runoff in spring. However, a detailed assessment of snow depths in steep rock walls has never been attempted. To understand snow distribution i ...
