— Recently, multi-hop wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have attracted increasing attention and deployment as a low-cost approach to provide broadband Internet access at metropolitan...
Secure multi-party computation (MPC) is a central problem in cryptography. Unfortunately, it is well known that MPC is possible if and only if the underlying communication network...
Secret handshakes were recently introduced [BDS+ 03] to allow members of the same group to authenticate each other secretly, in the sense that someone who is not a group member ca...
