Once quantum computers reach maturity most of today's traditional cryptographic schemes based on RSA or discrete logarithms become vulnerable to quantum-based attacks. Hence, ...
Consider a center possessing a trusted (tamper proof) device that wishes to securely compute a public function over private inputs that are contributed by some network nodes. In ne...

This paper considers the construction and analysis of pseudo-random functions (PRFs) with specific reference to modes of operations of a block cipher. In the context of message aut...
We revisit meet-in-the-middle attacks on block ciphers and recent developments in meet-in-the-middle preimage attacks on hash functions. Despite the presence of a secret key in the...
