Analysis and design of symmetric cryptographic algorithms

Jean-Philippe Aumasson

This thesis is concerned with the analysis and design of symmetric cryptographic algorithms, with a focus on real-world algorithms. The first part describes original cryptanalysis results, including: The first nontrivial preimage attacks on the (reduced) h ...

Architecture for Secure and Private Vehicular Communications

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Maxime Raya, Levente Buttyan

The deployment of vehicular communication (VC) systems is strongly dependent on their security and privacy features. In this paper, we propose a security architecture for VC. The primary objectives of the architecture include the management of identities a ...

Mobility Helps Peer-to-Peer Security

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Levente Buttyan, Srdan Capkun

We propose a straightforward technique to provide peer-to-peer security in mobile networks. We show that far from being a hurdle, mobility can be exploited to set up security associations among users. We leverage on the temporary vicinity of users, during ...

A Protection Scheme for MoC-Enabled Smart Cards

Serge Vaudenay, Claude Barral

The concept of Match-on-Card (MoC) consists of a smart card which receives an applicant's candidate template T to be compared with the stored reference template T_ref by processing the complete matching algorithm during a biometric authentication request. ...

Efficient secure aggregation in VANETs

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Maxime Raya, Adel Aziz

In VANETs, better communication efficiency can be achieved by sacrificing security and vice versa. But VANETs cannot get started without either of them. In this paper, we propose a set of mechanisms that can actually reconcile these two contradictory requi ...

Short 2-Move Undeniable Signatures

Serge Vaudenay, Jean Monnerat

Attempting to reach a minimal number of moves in cryptographic protocols is a quite classical issue. Besides the theoretical interests, minimizing the number of moves can clearly facilitate practical implementations in environments with communication const ...

Radio Frequency Identification: Adversary Model and Attacks on Existing Protocols

Gildas Avoine

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems aim to identify objects in open environments with neither physical nor visual contact. They consist of transponders inserted into objects, of readers, and usually of a database which contains information about ...

Gracefully Degrading Fair Exchange with Security Modules

Rachid Guerraoui, Marko Vukolic, Gildas Avoine

The fair exchange problem is key to trading electronic items in systems of mutually untrusted parties. In modern variants of such systems, each party is equipped with a security module. The security modules trust each other but can only communicate by exch ...

Secure and Privacy-Preserving Communication in Hybrid Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Srdan Capkun

We present a scheme for secure and privacy-preserving communication in hybrid ad hoc networks. Our scheme enables users to secure communication and to protect their anonymity and location privacy. Our approach is based on frequently changing node pseudonym ...

Location verification and key management in wireless networks

Srdan Capkun

This thesis is primarily concerned with two security mechanisms for wireless networks: location verification and key management. These mechanisms are potential building blocks in the security architectures of a range of applications. Under location verific ...
