Abstract— Converting a secure group key agreement protocol into password-based setting is not a trivial task. The security of a password-based scheme hinges on preventing diction...
We answer the open question of the possibility of building a digital signature scheme with proven security based on the one-wayness of a trapdoor permutation and with signatures as...
A cryptanalysis is given of a MAC proposal presented at CRYPTO 2003 by Cary and Venkatesan. A nice feature of the CaryVenkatesan MAC is that a lower bound on its security can be pr...
In this paper we study the link between formal and cryptographic models for security protocols in the presence of a passive adversary. In contrast to other works, we do not conside...
Abstract. The security of cascade blockcipher encryption is an important and well-studied problem in theoretical cryptography with practical implications. It is well-known that dou...
