Secure communication using authenticated channels

Sylvain Pasini

Our main motivation is to design more user-friendly security protocols. Indeed, if the use of the protocol is tedious, most users will not behave correctly and, consequently, security issues occur. An example is the actual behavior of a user in front of an ...

On the security of 1024-bit RSA and 160-bit elliptic curve cryptography

Arjen Lenstra, Joppe Willem Bos, Thorsten Kleinjung, Marcelo Kaihara

Meeting the requirements of NIST’s new cryptographic standard ‘Suite B Cryptography’ means phasing out usage of 1024-bit RSA and 160-bit Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) by the year 2010. This write-up comments on the vulnerability of these systems to an ...

Adaptive Message Authentication for Vehicular Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Nikodin Ristanovic, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Georgios Theodorakopoulos

Public key cryptography can introduce significant processing delays in vehicular communication platforms. This can lead to serious performance issues, especially in the case of multi-hop Inter-Vehicle Communication. In this paper we propose Adaptive Messag ...

The Complexity of Distinguishing Distributions

Serge Vaudenay, Thomas Baignères

Cryptography often meets the problem of distinguishing distributions. In this paper we review techniques from hypothesis testing to express the advantage of the best distinguisher limited to a given number of samples. We link it with the Chernoff informati ...

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 ...

About Machine-Readable Travel Documents

Serge Vaudenay, Martin Vuagnoux, Jean Monnerat

Passports are now equipped with RFID chips that contain private information, biometric data, and a digital signature by issuing authorities. We review most of applicable security and privacy issues. We argue that the main privacy issue is not unauthorized ...

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 ...

High Security Pairing-Based Cryptography Revisited

Robert Granger

The security and performance of pairing based cryptography has provoked a large volume of research, in part because of the exciting new cryptographic schemes that it underpins. We re-examine how one should implement pairings over ordinary elliptic curves f ...

Practical Cryptography in High Dimensional Tori

Robert Granger, Martijn Stam

At Crypto 2004, van Dijk and Woodruff introduced a new way of using the algebraic tori

T_n

in cryptography, and obtained an asymptotically optimal

n/\phi(n)

savings in bandwidth and storage for a number of cryptographic applications. However, the compu ...
