Abstract. Secure authentication frequently depends on the correct recognition of a user's public key. When there is no certificate authority, this key is obtained from other u...
In this paper we propose three smartcard-based variants of anonymous authentication using unique one-time pseudonyms. The first variant can be used to authenticate a user. However,...
Abstract. Pairings on elliptic curves are fast coming of age as cryptographic primitives for deployment in new security applications, particularly in the context of implementations...
In this paper, we propose a new block cipher HIGHT with 64-bit block length and 128-bit key length. It provides low-resource hardware implementation, which is proper to ubiquitous ...
Loyalty systems provide an interesting possibility for vendors in customer relationship management. This holds for both real world and online vendors. Beside potential benefits of...
