It is desirable to store data on data storage servers such as mail servers and file servers in encrypted form to reduce security and privacy risks. But this usually implies that ...
We introduce a new cryptographic primitive called the blind coupon mechanism (BCM). In effect, the BCM is an authenticated bit commitment scheme, which is AND-homomorphic. It has n...
Motivated by the question of basing cryptographic protocols on stateless tamper-proof hardware tokens, we revisit the question of unconditional two-prover zero-knowledge proofs fo...

Interactive hashing, introduced by Naor, Ostrovsky, Venkatesan and Yung (CRYPTO ’92), plays an important role in many cryptographic protocols. In particular, it is a major compo...
In this paper we shall introduce a new electronic payment concept based on the popular direct debit payment model, entitled periodical payments. The direct debit model currently i...
