Symmetric and non-symmetric discontinuous Galerkin methods stabilized using bubble enrichment

In this Note we prove that in two and three space dimensions, the symmetric and non-symmetric discontinuous Galerkin method for second order elliptic problems is stable when using piecewise linear elements enriched with quadratic bubbles without any penali ...

Photon Antibunching in the Photoluminescence Spectra of a Single Carbon Nanotube

Christophe Marcel Georges Galland

We report the first observation of photon antibunching in the photoluminescence from single carbon nanotubes. The emergence of a fast luminescence decay component under strong optical excitation indicates that Auger processes are partially responsible for ...

TCHo: a Hardware-Oriented Trapdoor Cipher

Serge Vaudenay, Willi Meier, Jean-Philippe Aumasson

This paper improves the Finiasz-Vaudenay construction of TCHo, a hardware-oriented public-key cryptosystem, whose security relies in the hardness of finding a low-weight multiple of a given polynomial, and on the decoding of certain noisy cyclic linear cod ...

Mix-Zones for Location Privacy in Vehicular Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Mark Felegyhazi, Julien Freudiger, Maxime Raya

Vehicular Networks (VNs) seek to provide, among other applications, safer driving conditions. To do so, vehicles need to periodically broadcast safety messages providing precise position information to nearby vehicles. However, this frequent messaging (e.g ...

Cryptography based on error correcting codes

Lorenz Minder

The idea to use error-correcting codes in order to construct public key cryptosystems was published in 1978 by McEliece [ME1978]. In his original construction, McEliece used Goppa codes, but various later publications suggested the use of different familie ...

Passive-Only Key Recovery Attacks on RC4

Serge Vaudenay, Martin Vuagnoux

We present several weaknesses in the key scheduling algorithm of RC4 when the secret key contains an initialization vector - a cryptographic scheme typically used by the WEP and WPA protocols to protect IEEE 802.11 wireless communications. First, we show h ...

Provable Security in Cryptography

Thomas Baignères

These lecture notes are a compilation of some of my readings while I was preparing two lectures given at EPFL on provable security in cryptography. They are essentially based on a book chapter from David Pointcheval called “Provable Security for Public Key ...

Ate Pairing on Hyperelliptic Curves

Robert Granger

In this paper we show that the Ate pairing, originally defined for elliptic curves, generalises to hyperelliptic curves and in fact to arbitrary algebraic curves. It has the following surprising properties: The loop length in Miller’s algorithm can be up t ...

E-Passport Threats

Serge Vaudenay

The author focuses on the cryptographic protection of e-passports, working from the assumption that even if people can peacefully live with their e- passports, what sort of cryptography technology is involved here? Can e- passport holders protect their pri ...

On Small Characteristic Algebraic Tori in Pairing-Based Cryptography

Robert Granger, Martijn Stam

The value of the Tate pairing on an elliptic curve over a finite field may be viewed as an element of an algebraic torus. Using this simple observation, we transfer techniques recently developed for torus-based cryptography to pairing-based cryptography, r ...
