This paper proposes a decentralized, blockchain-based system for the publication of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), aiming to mitigate the limitations of the current centralized model primarily overseen by MITRE. The proposed…
This work proposes a new architecture, called Global Authentication Scheme for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (GASMAN), for fully distributed and self-organized authentication. In this paper apart from describing all the GASMAN components, special…
Numerous systems for dissemination, retrieval, and archiving of documents have been developed in the past. Those systems often focus on one of these aspects and are hard to extend and combine. Typically, the transmission protocols, query…
Digital signatures are widely used in electronic communications to secure important tasks such as financial transactions, software updates, and legal contracts. The signature schemes that are in use today are based on public-key…
We introduce a simple, practical approach with probabilistic information-theoretic security to solve one of quantum key distribution's major security weaknesses: the requirement of an authenticated classical channel to prevent…
Authentication schemes are practised globally to verify the legitimacy of users and servers for the exchange of data in different facilities. Generally, the server verifies a user to provide resources for different purposes. But due to the…
This paper presents a new identity based strong designated verifier parallel multi-proxy signature scheme. Multi-Proxy signatures allow the original signer to delegate his signing power to a group of proxy signers. In our scheme, the…
Verifying the execution of a program is complicated and often limited by the inability to validate the code's correctness. It is a crucial aspect of scientific research, where it is needed to ensure the reproducibility and validity of…
We develop a generalized framework for invariant-based cryptography by extending the use of structural identities as core cryptographic mechanisms. Starting from a previously introduced scheme where a secret is encoded via a four-point…
Decentralised identifiers have become a standardised element of digital identity architecture, with supra-national organisations such as the European Union adopting them as a key component for a unified European digital identity ledger.…
Nowadays, academic certificates are still widely issued in paper format. Traditional certificate verification is a lengthy, manually intensive, and sometimes expensive process. In this paper, we propose a novel NFT-based certificate…
This paper presents an identity based multi-proxy multi-signcryption scheme from pairings. In this scheme a proxy signcrypter group could authorized as a proxy agent by the coopration of all members in the original signcryption group. Then…
A widespread design approach in distributed applications based on the service-oriented paradigm, such as web-services, consists of clearly separating the enforcement of authorization policies and the workflow of the applications, so that…
Federated authentication can drastically reduce the overhead of basic account maintenance while simultaneously improving overall system security. Integrating with the user's more frequently used account at their primary organization both…
Mutual TLS (mTLS) provides strong, certificate-based authentication for both clients and servers, yet its adoption for user-facing websites remains rare. This paper presents a longitudinal study of mTLS usability, tracking 46 senior and…
Yang et al. proposed a lightweight certificateless multiuser matchmaking encryption (LC-MUME) scheme for mobile devices, published in IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security (TIFS) (DOI: 10.1109/TIFS.2023.3321961). Their…
This survey provides a comparative overview of code-based signature schemes with respect to security and performance. Furthermore, we explicitly describe serveral code-based signature schemes with additional properties such as…
Centralized systems in the Internet of Things---be it local middleware or cloud-based services---fail to fundamentally address privacy of the collected data. We propose an architecture featuring secure multiparty computation at its core in…
In this paper, we propose a compositional framework for the construction of control barrier certificates for large-scale stochastic switched systems accepting multiple control barrier certificates with some dwell-time conditions. The…
This paper analyzes the performance of Kak's three stage quantum cryptographic protocol based on public key cryptography against a man-in-the-middle attack. A method for protecting against such an attack is presented using certificates…
