We propose a light-weight protocol for authentication of low-power devices. Our construction PUF-HB merges the positive qualities of two families of authentication functions. PUF ...
Pairing based cryptography is a new public key cryptographic scheme. An elliptic curve suitable for pairing based cryptography is called a “pairing-friendly” elliptic curve. Af...
Abstract. This work introduces a new tool for a fund manager to verifiably communicate portfolio risk characteristics to an investor. We address the classic dilemma: How can an in...
—Signcryption is a cryptographic primitive that fulfills both the functions of digital signature and public key encryption simultaneously, at a cost significantly lower than th...
Abstract. We consider the problem of increasing the threshold parameter of a secret-sharing scheme after the setup (share distribution) phase, without further communication between...
