On the Cryptanalysis of Public-Key Cryptography

Joppe Willem Bos

Nowadays, the most popular public-key cryptosystems are based on either the integer factorization or the discrete logarithm problem. The feasibility of solving these mathematical problems in practice is studied and techniques are presented to speed-up the ...

Faster Software Cryptography

Dag Arne Osvik

This thesis presents work on the efficiency and security of cryptographic software. First it describes several efforts to construct very efficient implementations of cryptographic primitives. These include the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as well as ...

Ron was wrong, Whit is right

Arjen Lenstra, Joppe Willem Bos, Thorsten Kleinjung, Maxime Augier, Christophe Wachter

We performed a sanity check of public keys collected on the web. Our main goal was to test the validity of the assumption that different random choices are made each time keys are generated. We found that the vast majority of public keys work as intended. ...

Design and Analysis of Multi-Block-Length Hash Functions

Onur Özen

Cryptographic hash functions are used in many cryptographic applications, and the design of provably secure hash functions (relative to various security notions) is an active area of research. Most of the currently existing hash functions use the Merkle-Da ...

OREN: Optimal Revocations in Ephemeral Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Maxime Raya, Igor Bilogrevic

Public-key certificates allow a multitude of entities to securely exchange and verify the authenticity of data. However, the ability to effectively revoke compromised or untrustworthy certificates is of great importance when coping with misbehavior. In thi ...

Grassmann Hashing For Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search In High Dimensional Space

Lei Zhang, Xinchao Wang

Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) approximates nearest neighbors in high dimensions by projecting original data into low-dimensional subspaces. The basic idea is to hash data samples to ensure that the probability of collision is much higher for samples tha ...

Efficient Hashing Using the AES Instruction Set

Joppe Willem Bos, Martijn Stam, Onur Özen

In this work, we provide a software benchmark for a large range of 256-bit blockcipher-based hash functions. We instantiate the underlying blockcipher with AES, which allows us to exploit the recent AES instruction set (AESNI). Since AES itself only output ...

Parallel Algorithms for Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems in Haemodynamics

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Gilles Fourestey, Paolo Crosetto

The increasing computational load required by most applications and the limits in hardware performances affecting scientific computing contributed in the last decades to the development of parallel software and architectures. In Fluid-Structure Interaction ...

Faster and Smoother - VSH Revisited

Juraj Sarinay

We reconsider the provably collision resistant Very Smooth Hash and propose a small change in the design aiming to improve both performance and security. While the original proofs of security based on hardness of factoring or discrete logarithms are preser ...

Neutrality-Based Symmetric Cryptanalysis

Shahram Khazaei

Cryptographic primitives are the basic components of any cryptographic tool. Block ciphers, stream ciphers and hash functions are the fundamental primitives of symmetric cryptography. In symmetric cryptography, the communicating parties perform essentially ...
