Preneel, Govaerts, and Vandewalle (1993) considered the 64 most basic ways to construct a hash function H: {0, 1}*->{0, 1}(n) from a blockcipher E: {0, 1}(n) x {0, 1}(n)->{0,1}(n). They regarded 12 of these 64 schemes as secure, though no proofs or formal ...
Since the beginning of this brand new century, and especially since the 2001 Sept 11 events in the U.S, several biometric technologies are considered mature enough to be a new tool for security. Generally associated to a personal device for privacy protect ...
Revocation of public-key certificates is an important security primitive. In this paper, we design a fully distributed local certificate revocation scheme for ephemeral networks - a class of extremely volatile wireless networks with short-duration and shor ...
This thesis is concerned with the analysis and design of symmetric cryptographic algorithms, with a focus on real-world algorithms. The first part describes original cryptanalysis results, including: The first nontrivial preimage attacks on the (reduced) h ...
Releasing a classical digital signature faces to privacy issues. Indeed, there are cases where the prover needs to authenticate some data without making it possible for any malicious verifier to transfer the proof to anyone else. It is for instance the cas ...
Tamper-proof devices are pretty powerful. They can be used to have better security in applications. In this work we observe that they can also be maliciously used in order to defeat some common privacy protection mechanisms. We propose the theoretical mode ...
We look at the problem of designing Message Recognition Protocols (MRP) and note that all proposals available in the literature have relied on security proofs which hold in the random oracle model or are based on non-standard assumptions. Incorporating ran ...
Loosely speaking, an obfuscation O of a function f should satisfy two requirements: firstly, using O, it should be possible to evaluate f; secondly, O should not reveal anything about f that cannot be learnt from oracle access to f alone. Several definitio ...
This paper describes and analyzes the security of a general-purpose cryptographic function design, with application in RFID tags and sensor networks. Based on these analyzes, we suggest minimum parameter values for the main components of this cryptographic ...
Information security is vital to many multiagent system applications. In this paper we formalise the notion of detectability of attacks in a MAS setting and analyse its applicability. We introduce a taxonomy of detectability specifications expressed in tem ...
