Performance Bounds for Sensor Data Gathering by Coding in Finite Fields

Pascal Frossard, Tamara Tosic

We address the problem of data gathering in adhoc networks. We propose a novel framework where sensor signals are quantized and mapped to a finite field. The network nodes then combine the data from different sensors to form messages that are transmitted t ...

Hang With Your Buddies to Resist Intersection Attacks

Bryan Alexander Ford

Some anonymity schemes, such as DC-nets and MIX cascades, can guarantee anonymity even against traffic analysis – provided messages are independent and unlinkable. Users in practice often desire pseudonymity – sending messages intentionally linkable to eac ...

SpeakUp – A Mobile App Facilitating Audience Interaction

Adrian Christian Holzer, Andrii Vozniuk, Sten Govaerts, Benoît Garbinato

A dynamic student-teacher interaction during class is an important part of the learning experience. However, in regular class settings and especially in large classrooms, it is a challenging task to encourage students to participate as they tend to be inti ...

On the Pseudorandom Function Assumption in (Secure) Distance-Bounding Protocols

Serge Vaudenay, Aikaterini Mitrokotsa

In this paper, we show that many formal and informal security results on distance-bounding (DB) protocols are incorrect/incomplete. We identify that this inadequacy stems from the fact that the pseudorandom function (PRF) assumption alone, invoked in many ...

Dissent in Numbers: Making Strong Anonymity Scale

Bryan Alexander Ford, Henry Nathaniel Corrigan-Gibbs

Current anonymous communication systems make a trade-off between weak anonymity among many nodes, via onion routing, and strong anonymity among few nodes, via DC-nets. We develop novel techniques in Dissent, a practical group anonymity system, to increase ...

A cryptographically t-private auction system

Tiark Rompf

We present a cryptographically t-private protocol for electronic auctions whose low resource demands make it viable for practical use. Our construction is based on Yao's garbled circuits and pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs). Our protocol involves a f ...

Model Checking Security Protocols: A Multiagent System Approach

Security protocols specify the communication required to achieve security objectives, e.g., data-privacy. Such protocols are used in electronic media: e-commerce, e-banking, e-voting, etc. Formal verification is used to discover protocol-design flaws. In t ...

A Note on a Privacy-Preserving Distance-Bounding Protocol

Aikaterini Mitrokotsa, Jean-Philippe Aumasson

Distance bounding protocols enable a device to establish an upper bound on the physical distance to a communication partner so as to prevent location spoofing, as exploited by relay attacks. Recently, Rasmussen and Cˇapkun (ACM-CCS’08) observed that these ...

On the Privacy of Anonymized Networks

Matthias Grossglauser, Pedram Pedarsani

The proliferation of online social networks, and the concomitant accumulation of user data, give rise to hotly debated issues of privacy, security, and control. One specific challenge is the sharing or public release of anonymized data without accidentally ...

Smashing SQUASH-0

Serge Vaudenay, Khaled Ouafi

At the RFID Security Workshop 2007, Adi Shamir presented a new challenge-response protocol well suited for RFIDs, although based on the Rabin public-key cryptosystem. This protocol, which we call SQUASH-0, was using a linear mixing function which was subse ...
