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...
At CRYPTO 2000, a new public-key encryption based on braid groups was introduced. This paper demonstrates how to solve its underlying problem using the Burau representation. By thi...
We present our further observations on the structure of the AES algorithm relating to the cyclic properties of the functions used in this cipher. We note that the maximal period of...
We consider a variant of the Complex Multiplication (CM) method for constructing elliptic curves (ECs) of prime order with additional security properties. Our variant uses Weber po...

A solution for obtaining impartial random values in on-line gambling is presented in this paper. Unlike most previous proposals, our method does not require any TTP and allows e-ga...
