Quantum communication networks are connected by various devices to achieve communication or distributed computing for users in remote locations. In order to solve the problem of generating temporary session key for secure communication in…
It is notably challenging to design an efficient and secure signature scheme based on error-correcting codes. An approach to build such signature schemes is to derive it from an identification protocol through the Fiat-Shamir transform. All…
A paper presented at the ICICS 2019 conference describes what is claimed to be a `provably secure group authentication [protocol] in the asynchronous communication model'. We show here that this is far from being the case, as the protocol…
We extend to rings with zero-divisors the concept of perinormal domain introduced by N. Epstein and J. Shapiro. A ring $A$ is called perinormal if every overring of $A$ which satisfies going down over $A$ is $A$-flat. The Pr\"ufer rings and…
Secret Sharing Schemes (SSS) are methods for distributing a secret among a set of participants. One of the first Secret Sharing Schemes was proposed by M. Mignotte, based on the Chinese remainder theorem over the ring of integers. In this…
Applying the Fiat-Shamir transform on identification schemes is one of the main ways of constructing signature schemes. While the classical security of this transformation is well understood, it is only very recently that generic results…
Forward-secure signatures guarantee that the signatures generated before the compromise of private key remain secure, and therefore offer an enhanced compromise-resiliency for real-life applications such as digital forensics, audit logs,…
Modern mathematics is built on the idea that proofs should be translatable into formal proofs, whose validity is an objective question, decidable by a computer. Yet, in practice, proofs are informal and may omit many details. An agent…
A secret ballot mechanism that enables voting in absence is proposed. It amends standard vote collection methods that use ballot box as anonymizer, adding the option for absent voters to vote by a proxy blinded to the content of the ballot…
Let R be a commutative ring with identity. The concept of second submodule of an R-module (as a dual notion of prime submodules) was introduced and studied by S.Yassemi in 2001. This notion has obtained a great attention by many authors and…
This paper focuses on the new privacy challenges that arise in smart homes. Specifically, the paper focuses on inferring the user's activities -- which may, in turn, lead to the user's privacy -- via inferences through device activities and…
The naive combination of polymorphic effects and polymorphic type assignment has been well known to break type safety. Existing approaches to this problem are classified into two groups: one for restricting how effects are triggered and the…
We present a system to measure the distance between two parties that allows only trusted people to access the result. The security of the protocol is guaranteed by the complementarity principle in quantum mechanics. The protocol can be…
In a ring-signature-based anonymous cryptocurrency, signers of a transaction are hidden among a set of potential signers, called a ring, whose size is much smaller than the number of all users. The ring-membership relations specified by the…
Traditional financial institutions face inefficiencies that can be addressed by distributed ledger technology. However, a primary barrier to adoption is the privacy concerns surrounding publicly available transaction data. Existing private…
The purpose of incremental cryptography is to allow the updating of cryptographic forms of documents undergoing modifications, more efficiently than if we had to recompute them from scratch. This paper defines a framework for using securely…
A notion of quantum conference is introduced in analogy with the usual notion of a conference that happens frequently in today's world. Quantum conference is defined as a multiparty secure communication task that allows each party to…
The notion of local rings with quasi-decomposable maximal ideal was formally introduced by Nasseh and Takahashi. In separate works, the authors of the present paper show that such rings have rigid homological properties; for instance, they…
The ring of fluxions (real sequential germs at infinity) provides a rigorous approach to infinitesimals, different from the better-known approach of Abraham Robinson. The basic idea was first espoused in a paper by Curt Schmieden and Detlof…
On-demand authentication is critical for scalable quantum systems, yet current approaches require the signer to initiate communication, creating unnecessary overhead. We introduce a new method where the verifier can request authentication…
