Cryptography, Volume 1, Issue 1

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is extensively used in various multifactor authentication protocols. In this work, various recent ECC-based authentication and key exchange protocols are subjected to threat modeling and static analysis to detect vul...

The magnitude of the information content associated with a particular implementation of a Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) is critically important for security and trust in emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Authentication, in particul...

We estimate the maximum-order complexity of a binary sequence in terms of its correlation measures. Roughly speaking, we show that any sequence with small correlation measure up to a sufficiently large order k cannot have very small maximum-order com...

The universal blind quantum computation protocol (UBQC) enables an almost classical client to delegate a quantum computation to an untrusted quantum server (in the form of a garbled quantum circuit) while the security for the client is unconditional....

The book entitled Privacy in a Digital, Networked World: Technologies, Implications and Solutions of the series Computer Communications and Networks is the latest published book edited by Sherali Zeadally and Mohamad Badra.[...]

Wireless multimedia sensor networks will play a central role in the Internet of Things world, providing content-rich information for an uncountable number of monitoring and control scenarios. As more applications rely on multimedia data, security con...

This paper describes an authentication protocol using a Hardware-Embedded Delay PUF called HELP. HELP derives randomness from within-die path delay variations that occur along the paths within a hardware implementation of a cryptographic primitive, s...

The r-rounds Even–Mansour block cipher is a generalization of the well known Even–Mansour block cipher to r iterations. Attacks on this construction were described by Nikolić et al. and Dinur et al. for $r=2,3$ . These attacks are only margi...

Cryptography has very long history, from ancient ciphers, such as Ceaser cipher, machine (or rotor) cipherx during WWI and WWII, and modern ciphers, which play a fundamental role in providing Confidentiality, Integrity, and Authentication services du...
