Creating Secrets Out Of Packet Erasures

Aikaterini Argyraki, 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 ...

Matryoshka: Hiding Secret Communication in Plain Sight

Aikaterini Argyraki, Christina Fragouli, Iris Safaka

We want to enable a pair of communicating users to exchange secret messages while hiding the fact that secret communication is taking place. We propose a linguistic steganography approach, where each human message is hidden in another human-like message. 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 ...

Low cost security for sensor networks

Christina Fragouli, Lorenzo Keller, Iris Safaka, Emre Atsan

We design and evaluate a lightweight encryption protocol suitable for sensor networks, that enables weak security in the presence of passive eavesdroppers. At every communication round, our protocol creates a key between each sensor node and the sink, by a ...

Creating Shared Secrets out of Thin Air

Aikaterini Argyraki, 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 ...
