In 1998, Blaze, Bleumer, and Strauss suggested a cryptographic primitive named proxy re-signatures where a proxy turns a signature computed under Alice's secret key into one from Bob on the same message. The semi-trusted proxy does not…
Nodes of sensor networks may be resource-constrained devices, often having a limited lifetime, making sensor networks remarkably dynamic environments. Managing a cryptographic protocol on such setups may require a disproportionate effort…
With the rapid development of cloud computing, the privacy security incidents occur frequently, especially data security issues. Cloud users would like to upload their sensitive information to cloud service providers in encrypted form…
This paper introduces a new concept of textual message encryption and decryption through a pool of randomized symmetric key and the dual layer cryptosystem with the concept of visual cryptography and steganography. A textual message is…
We propose an information-theoretically secure encryption scheme for classical messages with quantum ciphertexts that offers detection of eavesdropping attacks, and re-usability of the key in case no eavesdropping took place: the entire key…
The security of the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) depends on the uniqueness and secrecy of the nonce, which is used in each signature. While it is well understood that nonce $k$ reuse across two distinct messages can…
A quantum cryptographic protocol based in public key cryptography combinations and private key cryptography is presented. Unlike the BB84 protocol [1] and its many variants [2,3] two quantum channels are used. The present research does not…
Secret sharing in user hierarchy represents a challenging area for research. Although a lot of work has already been done in this direc- tion, this paper presents a novel approach to share a secret among a hierarchy of users while…
Whilst many key exchange and digital signature methods use the NIST P256 (secp256r1) and secp256k1 curves, there is often a demand for increased security. With these curves, we have a 128-bit security. These security levels can be increased…
This paper presents an overview of the use of elliptic curves in cryptography. The security of this cryptosystem is based on the discrete logarithm problem, which appears to be much harder compared to the discrete logarithm problem in other…
Homomorphic encryption has largely been studied in context of public key cryptosystems. But there are applications which inherently would require symmetric keys. We propose a symmetric key encryption scheme with fully homomorphic evaluation…
We introduce new quantum key distribution protocols using quantum continuous variables, that are secure against individual attacks for any transmission of the optical line between Alice and Bob. In particular, it is not required that this…
A novel bit level block cipher based symmetric key cryptographic technique using G.C.D is proposed in this research paper. Entire plain text file is read one character at a time and according to the binary representation of ASCII value of…
Privacy concerns in healthcare have gained interest recently via GDPR, with a rising need for privacy-preserving data collection methods that keep personal information hidden in otherwise usable data. Sometimes data needs to be encrypted…
Data security is required when communications over untrusted networks takes place. Security tools such as cryptography and steganography are applied to achieve such objectives, but both have limitations and susceptible to attacks if they…
Differential privacy (DP) has steadily become the de-facto standard for achieving privacy in data analysis, which is typically implemented either in the "central" or "local" model. The local model has been more popular for commercial…
When working with joint collections of confidential data from multiple sources, e.g., in cloud-based multi-party computation scenarios, the ownership relation between data providers and their inputs itself is confidential information.…
Recent results of Kaplan et al., building on previous work by Kuwakado and Morii, have shown that a wide variety of classically-secure symmetric-key cryptosystems can be completely broken by quantum chosen-plaintext attacks (qCPA). In such…
Cryptography and data science research grew exponential with the internet boom. Legacy encryption techniques force users to make a trade-off between usability, convenience, and security. Encryption makes valuable data inaccessible, as it…
Quantum mechanical effects have enabled the construction of cryptographic primitives that are impossible classically. For example, quantum copy-protection allows for a program to be encoded in a quantum state in such a way that the program…
