Ad hoc groups, such as peer-to-peer (P2P) systems and mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) represent recent technological advancements. They support low-cost, scalable and fault-tolera...
The existing unconditional security definitions of quantum key distribution (QKD) do not apply to joint attacks over QKD and the subsequent use of the resulting key. In this paper...

Distributed key generation is one of the most challenging tasks for threshold cryptosystems. Designing such a protocol and proving its security against a malicious, adaptive adver...
Generating a distributed key, where a constant fraction of the players can reconstruct the key, is an essential component of many largescale distributed computing tasks such as ful...
