An ephemeral network is usually defined by the very short-lived and heterogeneous nature of interactions among self-organizing wireless devices. The wide penetration in everyday gadgets of radio technologies operating in unlicensed frequency spectrum, such ...

User-Aided Data Authentication

Sylvain Pasini

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 ...

SAS-Based Group Authentication and Key Agreement Protocols

Sylvain Pasini

New trends in consumer electronics have created a strong demand for fast, reliable and user-friendly key agreement protocols. However, many key agreement protocols are secure only against passive attacks. Therefore, message authentication is often unavoida ...

Cryptanalysis of the Sidelnikov cryptosystem

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Lorenz Minder

We present a structural attack against the Sidelnikov cryptosystem. The attack creats a private key from a give public key. Its running time is subexponential and it is effective if the parameters of the Reed-Muller code allow for efficient sampling of min ...

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 Using an Authenticated Channel

Sylvain Pasini

A secure communication over an insecure channel without any prior exchanged key can be established with the help of an authentication step to exchange a public key and then using public-key cryptography such as RSA. In this work, we concentrate on message ...

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 ...

On the possibility of constructing meaningful hash collisions for public keys

Arjen Lenstra

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 ...

2005

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 ...

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 ...
