Quantum key distribution (QKD) promises secure key agreement by using quantum mechanical systems. We argue that QKD will be an important part of future cryptographic infrastructur...
Most of the current security architectures for grid systems use conventional public key infrastructure (PKI) to authenticate grid members and to secure resource allocation to thes...
Password authentication is a popular approach used for user authentication in pervasive computing environments due to its simplicity and convenience. To secure the transmission be...
Abstract. Key agreement protocols are a fundamental building block for ensuring authenticated and private communications between two parties over an insecure network. This paper fo...
