Abstract— An important issue in mobile commerce (mcommerce) is to exchange digital data between two distributed parties in an efficient and fair manner. In this paper, a lightwe...
Abstract We provide evidence that the unforgeability of several discrete-log based signatures like Schnorr signatures cannot be equivalent to the discrete log problem in the standa...
RSA-KEM is a popular key encapsulation mechanism that combines the RSA trapdoor permutation with a key derivation function (KDF). Often the details of the KDF are viewed as orthogo...
Abstract. In this paper, we reconsider the notion of plaintext awareness. We present a new model for plaintext-aware encryption that is both natural and useful. We achieve plaintex...
Abstract. McEliece is one of the oldest known public key cryptosystems. Though it was less widely studied than RSA, it is remarkable that all known attacks are still exponential. I...
