We propose a new cryptographic primitive called oblivious signaturebased envelope (OSBE). Informally, an OSBE scheme enables a sender to send an envelope (encrypted message) to a ...
This paper investigates some modular powering functions suitable for cryptography. It is well known that the Rabin encryption function is a 4-to-1 mapping and breaking its one-wayn...
Abstract. We present a new cryptographic auction protocol that prevents extraction of bid information despite any collusion of participants. This requirement is stronger than commo...
RC6 is a symmetric-key algorithm which encrypts 128-bit plaintext blocks to 128-bit ciphertext blocks. The encryption process involves four operations: integer addition modulo 2w ,...
Until now in cryptography the term collision was mainly associated with the surjective mapping of different inputs to an equal output of a hash function. Previous collision attack...
