Abstract. Oblivious transfer (OT) is a primitive of paramount importance in cryptography or, more precisely, two- and multi-party computation due to its universality. Unfortunately...
We present the first cryptographically sound security proof of the well-known Otway-Rees protocol. More precisely, we show that the protocol is secure against arbitrary active att...
Identity-based cryptography uses pairing functions,which are sophisticated bilinear maps defined on elliptic curves.Computing pairings efficiently in software is presently a relev...

The invention of public-key cryptography makes many new network applications, such as electronic commerce (CE), possible. However, the widely used Internet is open and unprotected....
In spite of previous common assumptions about the incompatibility of public key cryptography (PKC) schemes with wireless sensor networks (WSNs), recent works have shown that they ...
