To prove that a secure key-agreement protocol exists one must at least show P = NP. Moreover any proof that the sequential composition of two non-adaptively secure pseudorandom fun...
Abstract. We establish new lower bounds and impossibility results for noninteractive zero-knowledge proofs and arguments with set-up assumptions. – For the common random string m...
A fundamental question in cryptography deals with understanding the role that randomness plays in cryptographic protocols and to what extent it is necessary. One particular line o...

A group key agreement (GKA) protocol allows a set of users to establish a common secret via open networks. Observing that a major goal of GKAs for most applications is to establish...

Key agreement (KA) allows two or more users to negotiate a secret session key among them over an open network. Authenticated key agreement (AKA) is a KA protocol enhanced to preve...
