Cryptography, Volume 6, Issue 3

With the growing utility of blockchain technology, the desire for reciprocal interactions among different blockchains is growing. However, most operational blockchain networks currently operate in a standalone setting. This fragmentation in the form...

This paper describes three methods of creating a subliminal channel in visual cryptography that are defined for a (2,2) sharing scheme. They work by hiding additional covert information besides the original encrypted image. The first channel is revea...

Security is an important aspect of healthcare applications that employ Internet of Things (IoT) technology. More specifically, providing privacy and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of IoT-based designs are crucial in the heal...

This paper suggests a strategy (C5) for assessing cloud and IoT system (CIS) dependability, availability, and cybersecurity based on the continuous collection, comparison, choice, and combination of Markov and semi-Markov models (MMs and SMMs). It pr...

Key-based circuit obfuscation or logic-locking is a technique that can be used to hide the full design of an integrated circuit from an untrusted foundry or end-user. The technique is based on creating ambiguity in the original circuit by inserting &...

The Panopticon (which means “watcher of everything”) is a well-known prison structure of continuous surveillance and discipline studied by Bentham in 1785. Today, where persistent, massive scale, surveillance is immensely facilitated by n...

The ever-increasing need for securing computing systems using cryptographic algorithms is spurring interest in the efficient implementation of common algorithms. While the algorithms can be implemented in software using base instruction sets, there i...

Attribute-based encryption (ABE) cryptography is widely known for its potential to solve the scalability issue of recent public key infrastructure (PKI). It provides a fine-grained access control system with high flexibility and efficiency by labelin...

The evolution of smart contracts in recent years inspired a crucial question: do smart contract evaluation protocols provide the required level of privacy when executing contracts on the blockchain? The Hawk (IEEE S&P ’16) paper introduces...

Advanced, superscalar microprocessors (μP) are highly susceptible to wear-out failures because of their highly complex, densely packed circuit structure and extreme operational frequencies. Although many types of fault detection and mitigation str...
