Breaking `128-bit Secure' Supersingular Binary Curves

Robert Granger

The discrete logarithm problem (DLP) in finite fields of small characteristic recently enjoyed a dramatic series of breakthrough results and computational records, with its (heuristic) complexity dropping from subexponential to quasi-polynomial. While thes ...

Elliptic and Hyperelliptic Curves: A Practical Security Analysis

Joppe Willem Bos, Andrea Miele

Motivated by the advantages of using elliptic curves for discrete logarithm-based public-key cryptography, there is an active research area investigating the potential of using hyperelliptic curves of genus 2. For both types of curves, the best known algor ...

Bounded Tamper Resilience: How to go beyond the Algebraic Barrier

Sebastian Faust

Related key attacks (RKAs) are powerful cryptanalytic attacks where an adversary can change the secret key and observe the effect of such changes at the output. The state of the art in RKA security protects against an a-priori unbounded number of certain a ...

Statistical and Algebraic Cryptanalysis of Lightweight and Ultra-Lightweight Symmetric Primitives

Pouyan Sepehrdad

Symmetric cryptographic primitives such as block and stream ciphers are the building blocks in many cryptographic protocols. Having such blocks which provide provable security against various types of attacks is often hard. On the other hand, if possible, ...

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 ...

A Mobile World of Security

Christine Neuberg

Security in mobile communications is a topic of increasing relevance in everyday life. We all use mobile devices for everyday communications, maybe even for exchanging confidential information with the work place. This requires security systems that are re ...

Adaptive Message Authentication for Multi-Hop Networks

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

Recent benchmarks indicate that the use of public key cryptography results in non negligible verification times on platforms with limited processing power. In this paper, we focus on multi-hop Inter-Vehicle Communication and show that the increase in messa ...

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 ...

Obfuscation for Cryptographic Purposes

Martijn Stam

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 ...

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 ...
