On the (Im)possibility of Commitment over Gaussian Unfair Noisy Channels

Commitment is a key primitive which resides at the heart of several cryptographic protocols. Noisy channels can help realize information-theoretically secure commitment schemes; however, their imprecise statistical characterization can severely impair such ...

Analysis and Improvements of the Sender Keys Protocol for Group Messaging

Daniel Patrick Collins

Messaging between two parties and in the group setting has enjoyed widespread attention both in practice, and, more recently, from the cryptographic community. One of the main challenges in the area is constructing secure (end-to- end encrypted) and effici ...

Six shades lighter: a bit-serial implementation of the AES family

Subhadeep Banik, Muhammed Fatih Balli, Sergio Roldán Lombardía

Recently, cryptographic literature has seen new block cipher designs such as PRESENT, GIFT or SKINNY that aim to be more lightweight than the current standard, i.e., AES. Even though AES family of block ciphers were designed two decades ago, they still rem ...

CALYPSO: Private Data Management for Decentralized Ledgers

Bryan Alexander Ford, Linus Gasser, Eleftherios Kokoris Kogias, Philipp Svetolik Jovanovic, Enis Ceyhun Alp

Distributed ledgers provide high availability and integrity, making them a key enabler for practical and secure computation of distributed workloads among mutually distrustful parties. Many practical applications also require strong confidentiality, howeve ...

Affine-malleable Extractors, Spectrum Doubling, and Application to Privacy Amplification

Divesh Aggarwal

The study of seeded randomness extractors is a major line of research in theoretical computer science. The goal is to construct deterministic algorithms which can take a weak random source x with min-entropy k and a uniformly random seed Y of length d, and ...

Privacy-Preserving Photo Sharing based on a Public Key Infrastructure

Touradj Ebrahimi, Lin Yuan, David Mc Nally

A significant number of pictures are posted to social media sites or exchanged through instant messaging and cloud-based sharing services. Most social media services offer a range of access control mechanisms to protect users privacy. As it is not in the b ...

Securing Broadcast Against Dishonest Receivers

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, László Czap, Vinod Malathidevi Prabhakaran

Consider a sender, Alice, who wants to transmit private messages to two receivers, Bob and Calvin, using unreliable wireless broadcast transmissions and short public feedback from Bob and Calvin. In [1], we assumed that Bob and Calvin provide honest feedba ...

Broadcasting Private Messages Securely

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, László Czap, Vinod Malathidevi Prabhakaran

Consider a source, Alice, broadcasting private messages to multiple receivers through a broadcast erasure channel; users send back to Alice public feedback that she causally uses to decide the coding strategy for her following transmissions. Recently, the ...
