Secure Communications over Insecure Channels Using an Authenticated Channel

Sylvain Pasini

A secure communication over an insecure channel without any prior exchanged key can be established with the help of an authentication step to exchange a public key and then using public-key cryptography such as RSA. In this work, we concentrate on message ...

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 ...

Key agreement over a radio link

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mario Cagalj

We present a simple, and yet powerful, technique for key establishment over a radio link in peer-to-peer networks. Our approach is based on the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol. This protocol is known to be vulnerable to the ``man-in-the-middle" attac ...

Quantum Cryptography : On the Security of the BB84 Key-Exchange Protocol

Thomas Baignères

In 1984, C.H. Bennet and G. Brassard proposed a new protocol aimed to solve the problem of symmetric cryptographic key exchange. This protocol was called BB84 after the name of its authors. While a traditional method would rely on public key cryptography ( ...

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 ...

Cryptography with Guardian Angels: Bringing civilization to pirates - Abstract

Serge Vaudenay, Gildas Avoine

In contrast with traditional cryptographic protocols in which parties can have access to common third parties, and where at least one of them is assumed to be honest, we propose here a new model which is relevant for networks of communication devices with ...

SECTOR: Secure Tracking of Node Encounters in Multi-hop Wireless Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Levente Buttyan, Srdan Capkun

In this paper we present SECTOR, a set of mechanisms for the secure verification of the time of encounters between nodes in multi-hop wireless networks. This information can be used notably to prevent wormhole attacks (without requiring any clock synchroni ...

Password interception in a SSL/TLS channel

Serge Vaudenay, Martin Vuagnoux

Simple password authentication is often used e.g. from an e-mail software application to a remote IMAP server. This is frequently done in a protected peer-to-peer tunnel, e.g. by SSL/TLS. At Eurocrypt'02, Vaudenay (2002) presented vulnerabilities in paddin ...

Building blocks for secure services

Levente Buttyan

This thesis is concerned with two security mechanisms: authenticated key transport and rational exchange protocols. These mechanisms are potential building blocks in the security architecture of a range of different services. Authenticated key transport pr ...

High performance VLSI architectures implementing strong cryptographic primitives

Feth Allah Cherigui

The main topic of this thesis is related to the state of the art in designing cryptographic primitives from a hardware point of view. A special emphasis is dedicated to low-power/low-energy CMOS design. A set of solutions is proposed including an LFSR base ...
