: Next to authentication, secure key exchange is considered the most critical and complex issue regarding ad-hoc network security. We present a low-cost, (i.e. low hardware-complex...
In a practical system, a message is often encrypted more than once by different encryptions, here called multiple encryption, to enhance its security. Additionally, new features ...
Abstract. ESIGN is an efficient signature scheme that has been proposed in the early nineties (see [14]). Recently, an effort was made to lay ESIGN on firm foundations, using the...
Randomization is vital in cryptography: secret keys should be randomly generated and most cryptographic primitives (e.g., encryption) must be probabilistic. As a bstraction, it is...
Knowledge extraction is a fundamental notion, modeling machine possession of values (witnesses) in a computational complexity sense and enabling one to argue about the internal st...
