Analyzing and Protecting Communication Metadata

Ludovic Barman

Most communication systems (e.g., e-mails, instant messengers, VPNs) use encryption to prevent third parties from learning sensitive information.However, encrypted communications protect the contents but often leak metadata: the amount of data sent and the ...

X-Attack: Remote Activation of Satisfiability Don’t-Care Hardware Trojans on Shared FPGAs

Mirjana Stojilovic, Dina Gamaleldin Ahmed Shawky Mahmoud, Wei Hu

Albeit very appealing, FPGA multitenancy in the cloud computing environment is currently on hold due to a number of recently discovered vulnerabilities to side-channel attacks and covert communication. In this work, we successfully demonstrate a new attack ...

Bidirectional Asynchronous Ratcheted Key Agreement with Linear Complexity

Serge Vaudenay, Fatma Betül Durak

Following up mass surveillance and privacy issues, modern secure communication protocols now seek more security such as forward secrecy and post-compromise security. They cannot rely on an assumption such as synchronization, predictable sender/receiver rol ...

Timing Violation Induced Faults in Multi-Tenant FPGAs

Mirjana Stojilovic, Dina Gamaleldin Ahmed Shawky Mahmoud

FPGAs have made their way into the cloud, allowing users to gain remote access to the state-of-the-art reconfigurable fabric and implement their custom accelerators. Since FPGAs are large enough to accommodate multiple independent designs, the multi-tenant ...

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 ...

Matryoshka: Hiding Secret Communication in Plain Sight

Christina Fragouli, Iris Safaka

We want to enable a pair of communicating users to exchange secret messages while hiding the fact that secret communication is taking place. We propose a linguistic steganography approach, where each human message is hidden in another human-like message. A ...

Metadata Protection Considerations for TLS Present and Future

Bryan Alexander Ford

TLS 1.3 takes important steps to improve both performance and security, so far offers little protection against traffic analysis or fingerprinting using unencrypted metadata or other side-channels such as transmission lengths and timings. This paper explor ...
