In this paper, we describe the design of a new family of block ciphers based on a Lai-Massey scheme, named FOX. The main features of this design, besides a very high security level...
Abstract. We consider compositional properties of reactive systems that are secure in a cryptographic sense. We follow the well-known simulatability approach of modern cryptography...
In earlier work, we described a “pathological” example of a signature scheme that is secure in the Random Oracle Model, but for which no secure implementation exists. For that...
We explore the notion of a pseudo-free group, first introduced by Hohenberger [Hoh03], and provide an alternative stronger definition. We show that if Z∗ n is a pseudo-free abe...
Abstract. Until recently, the existence of collection of trapdoor permutations (TDP) was believed (and claimed) to imply almost all of the major cryptographic primitives, including...
