Abstract. We study unconditionally secure 1-out-of-2 Oblivious Transfer (1-2 OT). We first point out that a standard security requirement for 1-2 OT of bits, namely that the receiv...
Abstract. We give a provable-security treatment for the key-wrap problem, providing definitions, constructions, and proofs. We suggest that key-wrap's goal is security in the ...
Abstract. The key to the integration of formal methods into engineering practice is education. In teaching, domain-independent problems -i.e., not requiring prior engineering backg...
In this paper, we define and analyze a new blockcipher mode of operation for encryption, CENC, which stands for Cipher-based ENCryption. CENC has the following advantages: (1) bey...
Abstract. I develop a compositional theory of refinement for the branching time framework based on stuttering simulation and prove that if one system refines another, then a refine...
