LIGHTBLUE: Automatic Profile-Aware Debloating of Bluetooth Stacks

Mathias Josef Payer, Daniele Antonioli, Duo Xu

The Bluetooth standard is ubiquitously supported by computers, smartphones, and IoT devices. Due to its complexity, implementations require large codebases, which are prone to security vulnerabilities, such as the recently discovered BlueBorne and BadBluet ...

BIAS: Bluetooth Impersonation AttackS

Daniele Antonioli

Bluetooth (BR/EDR) is a pervasive technology for wireless communication used by billions of devices. The Bluetooth standard includes a legacy authentication procedure and a secure authentication procedure, allowing devices to authenticate to each other usi ...

Key Negotiation Downgrade Attacks on Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy

Daniele Antonioli

Bluetooth (BR/EDR) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) are pervasive wireless technologies specified in the Bluetooth standard. The standard includes key negotiation protocols used to generate long-term keys (during pairing) and session keys (during secure conn ...

Encrypted DNS double right arrow Privacy? A Traffic Analysis Perspective

Carmela González Troncoso, Sandra Deepthy Siby, Narseo Vallina Rodriguez

Virtually every connection to an Internet service is preceded by a DNS lookup. Lookups are performed without any traffic-level protection, thus enabling manipulation, redirection, surveillance, and censorship. To address these issues, large organizations s ...

Provably Secure Authenticated Encryption

Damian Vizár

Authenticated Encryption (AE) is a symmetric key cryptographic primitive that ensures confidentiality and authenticity of processed messages at the same time. The research of AE as a primitive in its own right started in 2000. The security goals of AE wer ...

Implications of Position in Cryptography

Handan Kilinç Alper

In our daily lives, people or devices frequently need to learn their location for many reasons as some services depend on the absolute location or the proximity. The outcomes of positioning systems can have critical effects e.g., on military, emergency. Th ...

Atom: Horizontally Scaling Strong Anonymity

Bryan Alexander Ford, Henry Nathaniel Corrigan-Gibbs

Atom is an anonymous messaging system that protects against traffic-analysis attacks. Unlike many prior systems, each Atom server touches only a small fraction of the total messages routed through the network. As a result, the system’s capacity scales near ...

PriFi: A Low-Latency and Tracking-Resistant Protocol for Local-Area Anonymous Communication

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Bryan Alexander Ford, Mahdi Zamani, Italo Ivan Dacosta Petrocelli, Ludovic Barman

Popular anonymity mechanisms such as Tor provide low communication latency but are vulnerable to traffic analysis attacks that can de-anonymize users. Moreover, known traffic-analysis-resistant techniques such as Dissent are impractical for use in latency- ...

Clever Arbiters Versus Malicious Adversaries

Serge Vaudenay

When moving from known-input security to chosen-input security, some generic attacks sometimes become possible and must be discarded by a specific set of rules in the threat model. Similarly, common practices consist of fixing security systems, once an exp ...

Springer Berlin Heidelberg2016

Existing anonymity systems sacrifice anonymity for efficient communication or vice-versa. Onion-routing achieves low latency, high bandwidth, and scalable anonymous communication, but is susceptible to traffic analysis attacks. Designs based on DC-Nets, on ...
