All classical authentication protocols are based on pre-shared authentic information such as long-term secret keys or a public key infrastructure. However, there are many practical settings, where participants can additionally employ authentic Out-Of-Band ...
The need to evict compromised, faulty, or illegitimate nodes is well understood in prominent projects designing security architectures for Vehicular Communication (VC) systems. The basic approach envisioned to achieve this is via distri- bution of Certific ...
It is sometimes argued that finding meaningful hash collisions might prove difficult. We show that for several common public key systems it is easy to construct pairs of meaningful and secure public key data that either collide or share other characteristi ...
We present a novel, automated way to find differential paths for MD5. As an application we have shown how, at an approximate expected cost of 2 50 calls to the MD5 compression function, for any two chosen message prefixes P and P′, suffixe ...
Recently, some collisions have been exposed for a variety of cryptographic hash functions including some of the most widely used today. Many other hash functions using similar constructions can however still be considered secure. Nevertheless, this has dra ...
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 ...
Securing ad hoc networks is notoriously challenging, notably due to the lack of an on-line infrastructure. In particular, key management is a problem that has been addressed by many researchers but with limited results. In this paper, we consider the case ...
DSA and ECDSA are well established standards for digital signature based on the discrete logarithm problem. In this paper we survey known properties, certification issues regarding the public parameters, and security proofs. ECDSA also includes a standard ...

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 ...
