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...

Abstract. The notion of resettable zero-knowledge (rZK) was introduced by Canetti, Goldreich, Goldwasser and Micali (FOCS'01) as a strengthening of the classical notion of zer...
Currently, there are relatively few instances of "hash-and-sign" signatures in the standard model. Moreover, most current instances rely on strong and less studied assum...
Abstract. This paper reports record-setting performance for the ellipticcurve method of integer factorization: for example, 926.11 curves/second for ECM stage 1 with B1 = 8192 for ...

We provide a collision attack and preimage attacks on the MDC-2 construction, which is a method (dating back to 1988) of turning an n-bit block cipher into a 2n-bit hash function. ...

We initiate the cryptographic study of order-preserving symmetric encryption (OPE), a primitive suggested in the database community by Agrawal et al. (SIGMOD '04) for allowin...

A weak pseudorandom function (wPRF) is a cryptographic primitive similar to ? but weaker than ? a pseudorandom function: for wPRFs one only requires that the output is pseudorandom...
