We consider the problem of basing Oblivious Transfer (OT) and Bit Commitment (BC), with information theoretic security, on seemingly weaker primitives. We introduce a general model...
The third-generation (3G) mobile communication systems provide great coverage, complete subscriber management and nearly universal roaming. Nevertheless, 3G systems are subject to...
Abstract: ZRTP is a protocol designed to set up a shared secret between two communication parties which is subsequently used to secure the media stream (i.e. the audio data) of a V...

The Internet enables the way how global businesses and communities communicate today. In the last years, however, new demands have collided with old designs, resulting in a complex...

We study the problem of authentication based on a weak key in the information-theoretic setting. A key is weak if its min-entropy is an arbitrary small fraction of its bit length. ...
