Cryptography Under Counter-Intuitive Settings

In this thesis, we explore cryptographic protocols in three seemingly counter-intuitive settings or properties and attempt to achieve secure protocols under these settings. First, we consider the problem of future proofing of classical signatures against ...

Non-Transferable Anonymous Tokens by Secret Binding

Serge Vaudenay, Laurane Chloé Angélina Marco, Abdullah Talayhan

Non-transferability (NT) is a security notion which ensures that credentials are only used by their intended owners. Despite its importance, it has not been formally treated in the context of anonymous tokens (AT) which are lightweight anonymous cre- denti ...

Making Classical (Threshold) Signatures Post-quantum for Single Use on a Public Ledger

Serge Vaudenay, Laurane Chloé Angélina Marco, Abdullah Talayhan

The Bitcoin architecture heavily relies on the ECDSA signature scheme which is broken by quantum adversaries as the secret key can be computed from the public key in quantum polynomial time. To mitigate this attack, bitcoins can be paid to the hash of a pu ...

Misuse Attacks on Post-quantum Cryptosystems

Serge Vaudenay, Loïs Evan Huguenin-Dumittan, Abdullah Talayhan, Fatma Betül Durak, Ciprian Baetu

Many post-quantum cryptosystems which have been proposed in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NISI) standardization process follow the same meta-algorithm, but in different algebras or different encoding methods. They usually propose two ...
