Motivated by the needs of the pairing based cryptography, Miyaji, Nakabayashi and Takano have suggested a construction of so-called MNT elliptic curves with low embedding degree. ...
Abstract. Performance of various experimental realizations of quantum cryptographic protocols using polarization or phase coding are compared, including a new self-balanced interfe...

In theoretical cryptography, one formalizes the notion of an adversary's success probability being "too small to matter" by asking that it be a negligible function ...
We put forward a new method of constructing Fiat-Shamir-like signature schemes that yields better "exact security" than the original Fiat-Shamir method. (We also point o...
The security of hash functions based on a block cipher with a block length of m bits and a key length of k bits, where k ≤ m, is considered. New attacks are presented on a large ...
