Secure Transmission on the Two-Hop Relay Channel With Scaled Compute-and-Forward

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Jasper Goseling

Abstract: In this paper, we consider communication on a two-hop channel in which a source wants to send information reliably and securely to the destination via a relay. We consider both the untrusted relay case and the external eavesdropper case. In the u ...

Information-theoretic limitations on approximate quantum cloning and broadcasting

Marius Christopher Lemm

We prove quantitative limitations on any approximate simultaneous cloning or broadcasting of mixed states. The results are based on information-theoretic (entropic) considerations and generalize the well-known no-cloning and no-broadcasting theorems. We al ...

Cryptanalysis of a Homomorphic Encryption Scheme

Serge Vaudenay, Sonia Mihaela Bogos, John Gaspoz

Homomorphic encryption allows to make specific operations on private data which stays encrypted. While applications such as cloud computing require to have a practical solution, the encryption scheme must be secure. In this article, we detail and analyze i ...

Optimal Computational Split-state Non-malleable Codes

Divesh Aggarwal, Divya Gupta

Non-malleable codes are a generalization of classical error-correcting codes where the act of "corrupting" a codeword is replaced by a "tampering" adversary. Non-malleable codes guarantee that the message contained in the tampered codeword is either the or ...

Creating Secrets Out Of Packet Erasures

Christina Fragouli, László Czap, Iris Safaka

We present protocols for creating pairwise secrets between nodes in a wireless network, so that these secrets are secure from an eavesdropper, Eve, with unbounded computational and memory capabilities, but with limited network presence. We first present a ...

Building Security Protocols Against Powerful Adversaries

Iris Safaka

As our sensitive data is increasingly carried over the Internet and stored remotely, security in communications becomes a fundamental requirement. Yet, today's security practices are designed around assumptions the validity of which is being challenged. In ...

Authenticated Encryption with Variable Stretch

Serge Vaudenay, Damian Vizár, Reza Reyhanitabar

In conventional authenticated-encryption (AE) schemes, the ciphertext expansion, a.k.a.stretch or tag length, is a constant or a parameter of the scheme that must be fixed per key. However, using variable-length tags per key can be desirable in practice or ...

Efficiently Making Secure Two-Party Computation Fair

Handan Kilinç Alper

Secure two-party computation cannot be fair against malicious adversaries, unless a trusted third party (TTP) or a gradual-release type super-constant round protocol is employed. Existing optimistic fair two-party computation protocols with constant rounds ...

Leakage-resilient non-malleable codes

Divesh Aggarwal

A recent trend in cryptography is to construct cryptosystems that are secure against physical attacks. Such attacks are usually divided into two classes: the \emph{leakage} attacks in which the adversary obtains some information about the internal state of ...

Polar Codes for Broadcast Channels

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Emmanuel Abbé, Naveen Goela

Polar codes are introduced for discrete memoryless broadcast channels. For m-user deterministic broadcast channels, polarization is applied to map uniformly random message bits from m-independent messages to one codeword while satisfying broadcast constrai ...
