Cryptanalysis of e-mail protocols providing perfect forward secrecy

Recently, two e-mail protocols were proposed claiming to provide perfect secrecy. These protocols use authentication and (Diffie-Hellman) key-exchange techniques, and as such, other standard security criteria besides perfect forward secrecy include key-rep ...

Integrity (I) codes: Message Integrity Protection and Authentication over Insecure Channels

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mario Cagalj, Srdan Capkun

Inspired by unidirectional error detecting codes that are used in situations where only one kind of bit errors are possible (e.g., it is possible to change a bit “0” into a bit “1”, but not the contrary), we propose integrity codes (I-codes) for a radio co ...

Noisy Tags: A Pretty Good Key Exchange Protocol for RFID Tags

Gildas Avoine

We propose a protocol that can be used between an RFID tag and a reader to exchange a secret without performing any expensive computation. Similarly to the famous blocker tag suggested by Juels, Rivest, and Szydlo, our scheme makes use of special tags that ...

Key Agreement in Peer-to-Peer Wireless Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mario Cagalj, Srdan Capkun

We present a set of simple techniques for key establishment over a radio link in peer-to-peer networks. Our approach is based on the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol, which is known to be vulnerable to the ``man-in-the-middle" attack if the two users ...

Thwarting selfish and malicious behavior in wireless networks

Mario Cagalj

Security is at the core of any communication system and, in particular, of wireless (radio) networks. In this thesis, we focus on three important security aspects in the framework of wireless networks: selfish (noncooperative) behavior at the Medium Access ...

Mobility Helps Peer-to-Peer Security

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Levente Buttyan, Srdan Capkun

We propose a straightforward technique to provide peer-to-peer security in mobile networks. We show that far from being a hurdle, mobility can be exploited to set up security associations among users. We leverage on the temporary vicinity of users, during ...

Secure communications over insecure channels based on short authenticated strings

Serge Vaudenay

We propose a way to establish peer-to-peer authenticated communications over an insecure channel by using an extra channel which can authenticate very short strings, e.g. 15 bits. We call this SAS-based authentication as for authentication based on short a ...

Location verification and key management in wireless networks

Srdan Capkun

This thesis is primarily concerned with two security mechanisms for wireless networks: location verification and key management. These mechanisms are potential building blocks in the security architectures of a range of applications. Under location verific ...

Key agreement over a radio link

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mario Cagalj

We present a simple, and yet powerful, technique for key establishment over a radio link in peer-to-peer networks. Our approach is based on the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol. This protocol is known to be vulnerable to the ``man-in-the-middle" attac ...

Self-organized public-key management for mobile ad hoc networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Levente Buttyan, Srdan Capkun

In contrast with conventional networks, mobile ad hoc networks usually do not provide on-line access to trusted authorities or to centralized servers and they exhibit frequent partitioning due to link and node failures and to node mobility. For these reaso ...
