Secure Communication in Erasure Networks with State-feedback

László Czap

The security and efficiency of communication are two of the main concerns for networks of today and the future. Our understanding of how to efficiently send information over various channels and networks has significantly increased in the past decade (see ...

Secure Wireless Communications via Cooperative Transmitting

Ninoslav Marina

Information-theoretic secrecy is combined with cryptographic secrecy to create a secret-key exchange protocol for wireless networks. A network of transmitters, which already have cryptographically secured channels between them, cooperate to exchange a secr ...

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 ...

Creating Secrets out of Erasures

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Panagiotis Kostopoulos

Current security systems often rely on the adversary's computational limitations. Wireless networks offer the opportunity for a different, complementary kind of security, which relies on the adversary's limited network presence (i.e., that the adversary ca ...

Creating Shared Secrets out of Thin Air

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Iris Safaka

Current security systems typically rely on the adversary's computational limitations (e.g., the fact that it cannot invert a hash function or perform large-integer factorization). Wireless networks offer the opportunity for a different, complementary kind ...

Scalable and Secure Polling in Dynamic Distributed Networks

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Hamza Harkous, Florian Huc

We consider the problem of securely conducting a poll in synchronous dynamic networks equipped with a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Whereas previous distributed solutions had a communication cost of O(n^2) in an n nodes system, we present SPP (Secure an ...

Scalable and Secure Aggregation in Distributed Networks

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Hamza Harkous, Florian Huc

We consider the problem of computing an aggregation function in a \emph{secure} and \emph{scalable} way. Whereas previous distributed solutions with similar security guarantees have a communication cost of

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 ...

Equivalences and calculi for formal verification of cryptographic protocols

Johannes Borgström

Security protocols are essential to the proper functioning of any distributed system running over an insecure network but often have flaws that can be exploited even without breaking the cryptography. Formal cryptography, the assumption that the cryptograp ...

Short 2-Move Undeniable Signatures

Serge Vaudenay, Jean Monnerat

Attempting to reach a minimal number of moves in cryptographic protocols is a quite classical issue. Besides the theoretical interests, minimizing the number of moves can clearly facilitate practical implementations in environments with communication const ...
