Abstract — FPGAs offer excellent platform for System-onChips consisting of Intellectual Property (IP) blocks. The problem is that IP blocks and their interconnections are often F...
We introduce a new cryptographic primitive called the blind coupon mechanism (BCM). In effect, the BCM is an authenticated bit commitment scheme, which is AND-homomorphic. It has n...
Forgery and counterfeiting are emerging as serious security risks in low-cost pervasive computing devices. These devices lack the computational, storage, power, and communication r...
The widespread use of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) in many fields of applications has led to the continuous development of routing protocols which can perform well when deployed...
Generating a distributed key, where a constant fraction of the players can reconstruct the key, is an essential component of many largescale distributed computing tasks such as ful...
