Theory and tool support for the formal verification of cryptographic protocols

Sébastien Briais

Cryptographic protocols are an essential component of network communications. Despite their relatively small size compared to other distributed algorithms, they are known to be error-prone. This is due to the obligation to behave robustly in the context of ...

About Machine-Readable Travel Documents

Serge Vaudenay, Martin Vuagnoux

Passports are documents that help immigration officers to identify people. In order to strongly authenticate their data and to automatically identify people, they are now equipped with RFID chips. These contain private information, biometrics, and a digita ...

GridVine: an Infrastructure for Peer Information Management

Karl Aberer, Philippe Cudré-Mauroux

GridVine is a semantic overlay infrastructure based on a peer-to-peer (P2P) access structure. Built following the principle of data independence, it separates a logical layer — in which data, schemas, and schema mappings are managed — from a physical layer ...

Securing Vehicular Communications

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Maxime Raya

The road to a successful introduction of vehicular communications has to pass through the analysis of potential security threats and the design of a robust security architecture able to cope with these threats. In this paper, we undertake this challenge. I ...

Stair climbing detection during daily physical activity using a miniature gyroscope

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Bijan Najafi, Brian Coley

A new method of monitoring physical activity that is able to detect walking upstairs using a miniature gyroscope attached to the shank is presented. Wavelet transformation, in conjunction with a simple kinematics model, was used to detect toe-off, heel-str ...

Chaum's Designated Confirmer Signature Revisited

Serge Vaudenay, Jean Monnerat

This article revisits the original designated confirmer signature scheme of Chaum. Following the same spirit we naturally extend the Chaum's construction in a more general setting and analyze its security in a formal way. We prove its security in the rando ...

Optimal location of FACTS devices to enhance power system security

Stéphane Gerbex

This paper compares three heuristic methods (SA, TS and GA) applied to the optimal location of FACTS devices in a power system. The optimizations are made on three parameters: the location of the devices, their types and their sizes. The FACTS devices are ...

A Simple Logic for Authentication Protocol Design

Levente Buttyan, Uwe Wilhelm

In this paper, we describe a simple logic. The logic uses the notion of channels that are generalisations of communication links with various security properties. The abstract nature of channels enables us to treat the protocol at a higher abstraction leve ...

State of the art in electronic payment systems

Philippe Janson

The exchange of goods conducted face-to-face between two parties dates back to before the beginning of recorded history. Traditional means of payment have always had security problems, but now electronic payments retain the same drawbacks and add some risk ...
