Constructions for hash functions based on a block cipher are studied where the size of the hashcode is equal to the block length of the block cipher and where the key size is appro...
A broadcast encryption scheme allows the sender to securely distribute data to a dynamically changing set of users over an insecure channel. One of the most challenging settings fo...
We show how the electronic cash scheme in [Fer93a] can be extended to provide n-spendable coins. Furthermore, we show how observers can be incorporated in the protocols to provide...
Large classes of weak keys have been found for the block cipher algorithm IDEA, previously known as IPES [2]. IDEA has a 128bit key and encrypts blocks of 64 bits. For a class of 2...
Cryptographic techniques have been used intensively in the past to show how to play multiparty games in an adversarial scenario. We now investigate the cryptographic power of a dec...
Three modular reduction algorithms for large integers are compared with respect to their performance in portable software: the classical algorithm, Barrett’s algorithm and Montgo...
