Round complexity is a central measure of efficiency, and characterizing the round complexity of various cryptographic tasks is of both theoretical and practical importance. We show...
Abstract. Key exchange protocols in the setting of universal composability are investigated. First we show that the ideal functionality FKE of [9] cannot be realized in the presenc...
The standard digital signature scheme can be easily subject to key exposure problem In order to overcome this problem; a feasible and effective approach is employed by key-evolving...
