In biometric identification, a fingerprint is typically represented as a set of minutiae which are 2D points. A method [4] to protect the fingerprint template hides the minutiae b...
A nonce is a cryptographic input value which must never repeat within a given context. Nonces are important for the security of many cryptographic building blocks, such as stream c...
The increased functionality of EPC Class1 Gen2 (EPCGen2) is making this standard the de facto specification for inexpensive tags in the RFID industry. EPCGen2 supports only very b...
Abstract This paper surveys the literature on certificateless encryption schemes. In particular, we examine the large number of security models that have been proposed to prove the...
We show that every construction of one-time signature schemes from a random oracle achieves black-box security at most 2(1+o(1))q , where q is the total number of oracle queries a...
