Despite many good (secure) key agreement protocols based on public-key cryptography exist, secure associations between two wireless devices are often established using symmetric-key cryptography for cost reasons. The consequence is that common daily used s ...
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 ...
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 ...
This PhD thesis focuses on fair exchange protocols and radio frequency identification protocols. Fair exchange stems from a daily life problem: how can two people exchange objects (material or immaterial) fairly, that is, without anyone being hurt in the e ...
Vehicular networks are likely to become the most relevant form of mobile ad hoc networks. In this paper, we address the security of these networks. We provide a detailed threat analysis and devise an appropriate security architecture. We also describe some ...

Contrary to the common belief that mobility makes security more difficult to achieve, we show that node mobility can, in fact, be useful to provide security in ad hoc networks. We propose a technique in which security associations between nodes are establi ...
In 1984, C.H. Bennet and G. Brassard proposed a new protocol aimed to solve the problem of symmetric cryptographic key exchange. This protocol was called BB84 after the name of its authors. While a traditional method would rely on public key cryptography ( ...
The Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) has recently rolled out a new still image coding standard called JPEG 2000. This standard integrates an efficient image compression scheme with functionalities required by multimedia applications, such as progres ...
We use bounds of exponential sums to show that, for a wide class of parameters, the modification of the digital signature algorithm (DSA) scheme proposed by A.K. Lenstra (see Proc. Asiacrypt'96, Lect. Notes in Comp. Sci., vol.1163, p.57-64, 1996) is as sec ...
