The Inconvenient Truth about Web Certificates

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Julien Freudiger, Nevena Vratonjic, Vincent Bindschaedler

HTTPS is the de facto standard for securing Internet communications. Although it is widely deployed, the security provided with HTTPS in practice is dubious. HTTPS may fail to provide security for multiple reasons, mostly due to certificate-based authentic ...

Optimal Revocations in Ephemeral Networks: A Game-Theoretic Framework

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Maxime Raya, Igor Bilogrevic

Revocation of public-key certificates is an important security primitive. In this paper, we design a fully distributed local certificate revocation scheme for ephemeral networks - a class of extremely volatile wireless networks with short-duration and shor ...

Revocation Games in Ephemeral Networks

Igor Bilogrevic

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 ...

Secure communication using authenticated channels

Sylvain Pasini

Our main motivation is to design more user-friendly security protocols. Indeed, if the use of the protocol is tedious, most users will not behave correctly and, consequently, security issues occur. An example is the actual behavior of a user in front of an ...

Secure Communication Over Radio Channels

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert

We study the problem of secure communication in a multi-channel, single-hop radio network with a malicious adversary that can cause collisions and spoof messages. We assume no pre-shared secrets or trusted-third-party infrastructure. The main contribution ...

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 ...

Chosen-prefix collisions for MD5 and colliding X.509 certificates for different identities

Arjen Lenstra

We present a novel, automated way to find differential paths for MD5. As an application we have shown how, at an approximate expected cost of 2 50 calls to the MD5 compression function, for any two chosen message prefixes P and P′, suffixe ...

Key Agreement in Peer-to-Peer Wireless Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mario Cagalj, Srdan Capkun

We present a set of simple techniques for key establishment over a radio link in peer-to-peer networks. Our approach is based on the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol, which is known to be vulnerable to the ``man-in-the-middle" attack if the two users ...
