Securing Broadcast Against Dishonest Receivers

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, László Czap, Vinod Malathidevi Prabhakaran

Consider a sender, Alice, who wants to transmit private messages to two receivers, Bob and Calvin, using unreliable wireless broadcast transmissions and short public feedback from Bob and Calvin. In [1], we assumed that Bob and Calvin provide honest feedba ...

Asynchronous Gossip

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert

We study the complexity of gossip in an asynchronous, message-passing fault-prone distributed system. We show that an adaptive adversary can significantly hamper the spreading of a rumor, while an oblivious adversary cannot. The algorithmic techniques prop ...

Primeless Factoring-Based Cryptography

Serge Vaudenay, Sonia Mihaela Bogos, Ioana Cristina Carlson

Factoring-based public-key cryptosystems have an overall complexity which is dominated by the key-production algorithm, which requires the generation of prime numbers. This is most inconvenient in settings where the key-generation is not an one-off process ...

HELEN: a Public-key Cryptosystem Based on the LPN Problem (Extended Abstract)

Serge Vaudenay, Alexandre Raphaël Duc

We propose HELEN, a new code-based public-key cryptosystem whose security is based on the hardness of the Learning from Parity with Noise problem~(LPN) and the decisional minimum distance problem. We show that the resulting cryptosystem achieves indistingu ...

Primeless Modular Cryptography (Extended Abstract)

Serge Vaudenay, Sonia Mihaela Bogos, Ioana Cristina Carlson

Most of the known public-key cryptosystems have an overall complexity which is dominated by the key-production algorithm, which requires the generation of prime numbers. This is most inconvenient in settings where the key-generation is not an one-off proce ...

How to Allocate Tasks Asynchronously

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

Asynchronous task allocation is a fundamental problem in distributed computing in which p asynchronous processes must execute a set of m tasks. Also known as write-all or do-all, this problem been studied extensively, both independently and as a key buildi ...

On Hiding a Plaintext Length by Preencryption

Serge Vaudenay, Cihangir Tezcan

It is a well known fact that encryption schemes can not hide a plaintext length when it is unbounded. We thus admit that an approximation of it may leak and we focus on hiding its precise value. Some standards such as TLS or SSH offer to do it by applying ...

Cryptographic Hash Functions in Groups and Provable Properties

Juraj Sarinay

We consider several "provably secure" hash functions that compute simple sums in a well chosen group (G,*). Security properties of such functions provably translate in a natural way to computational problems in G that are simple to define and possibly also ...

Enabling Secure Secret Sharing in Distributed Online Social Networks

Karl Aberer, Anwitaman Datta, Sonja Buchegger

We study a new application of threshold-based secret sharing in a distributed online social network (DOSN), where users need a means to back up and recover their private keys in a network of untrusted servers. Using a simple threshold-based secret sharing ...

On the Complexity of Asynchronous Gossip

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert

In this paper, we study the complexity of gossip in an asynchronous, message-passing fault-prone distributed system. In short, we show that an adaptive adversary can significantly hamper the spreading of a rumor, while an oblivious adversary cannot. In the ...
