On Privacy Losses in the Trusted Agent Model (Abstract)

Serge Vaudenay

Tamper-proof devices are pretty powerful. They typically make security applications simpler (provided that the tamper-proof assumption is not violated). For application requiring privacy, we observe that some properties may become harder (if possible at al ...

Data-centric trust in ephemeral networks

Maxime Raya

New network types require new security concepts. Surprisingly, trust – the ultimate goal of security – has not evolved as much as other concepts. In particular, the traditional notion of building trust in entities seems inadequate in an ephemeral environme ...

Enabling Secure Secret Sharing in Distributed Online Social Networks

Karl Aberer, Anwitaman Datta, Sonja Buchegger

We study a new application of threshold-based secret sharing in a distributed online social network (DOSN), where users need a means to back up and recover their private keys in a network of untrusted servers. Using a simple threshold-based secret sharing ...

Improved Cryptanalysis of Skein

Willi Meier, Onur Özen, Jean-Philippe Aumasson

The hash function Skein is the submission of Ferguson et al. to the NIST Hash Competition, and is arguably a serious candidate for selection as SHA-3. This paper presents the first third-party analysis of Skein, with an extensive study of its main componen ...

Analysis and Optimization of Cryptographically Generated Addresses

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Joppe Willem Bos, Onur Özen

The need for nodes to be able to generate their own address and verify those from others, without relying on a global trusted authority, is a well-known problem in networking. One popular technique for solving this problem is to use self-certifying address ...

Security observance throughout the life-cycle of embedded systems

Arjen Lenstra

Embedded systems are an established part of life. Their security requirements underline the importance of properly formulated, implemented, and enforced security policies throughout their life-cycle. Currently, security is just an afterthought, and most so ...

Dynamic network security deployment under partial information

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Georgios Theodorakopoulos

A network user’s decision to start and continue using security products is based on economic considerations. The cost of a security compromise (e.g., worm infection) is compared against the cost of deploying and maintaining a sufficient level of security. ...
