A significant security vulnerability in a recently published group key establishment protocol is described. This vulnerability allows a malicious insider to fraudulently establish a group key with an innocent victim, with the key chosen by…
We consider in this paper the information-theoretic secure key distribution problem over main and wire-tap noise channels with a public discussion in presence of an active adversary. In contrast to the solution proposed by ourselves for a…
We provide implementation details for non-associative key establishment protocols. In particular, we describe the implementation of non-associative key establishment protocols for all left self-distributive and all mutually left…
This paper presents the first quantum entanglement establishment scheme for strangers who neither pre-share any secret nor have any authenticated classical channel between them. The proposed protocol requires only the help of two almost…
Due to resource constraints of the sensor nodes, traditional public key cryptographic techniques are not feasible in most sensor network architectures. Several symmetric key distribution mechanisms are proposed for establishing pairwise…
Three closely-related polynomial-based group key pre-distribution schemes have recently been proposed, aimed specifically at wireless sensor networks. The schemes enable any subset of a predefined set of sensor nodes to establish a shared…
Group authentication is a method of confirmation that a set of users belong to a group and of distributing a common key among them. Unlike the standard authentication schemes where one central authority authenticates users one by one, group…
Providing security for messages in group communication is more essential and critical nowadays. In group oriented applications such as Video conferencing and entertainment applications, it is necessary to secure the confidential data in…
We show the security of multi-user key establishment on a single line of quantum communication. More precisely, we consider a quantum communication architecture where the qubit generation and measurement happen at the two ends of the line,…
Cooperation among wireless nodes has been recently proposed for improving the physical layer (PHY) security of wireless transmission in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers. While existing PHY security literature answered the question…
In device-independent quantum key distribution (DIQKD), an adversary prepares a device consisting of two components, distributed to Alice and Bob, who use the device to generate a secure key. The security of existing DIQKD schemes holds…
Non-interactive key exchange (NIKE) enables two or multiple parties (just knowing the public system parameters and each other's public key) to derive a (group) session key without the need for interaction. Recently, NIKE in multi-party…
We present an universal way to concentrate an arbitrary $N$-particle less-entangled $W$ state into a maximally entangled $W$ state with different parity check gates. It comprises two protocols. The first protocol is based on the linear…
We construct a new protocol for attribute-based encryption with the use of the modification of the standard secret sharing scheme. In the suggested modification of the secret sharing scheme, only one master key for each user is required…
In this paper a secret sharing scheme based on the word problem in groups is introduced. The security of the scheme and possible variations are discussed in section 2. The article concludes with the suggestion of two categories of platform…
The braid group is an important non commutative group, at the same time, it is an important tool in quantum field theory with better topological structure, and often used as a research carrier for anti-quantum cryptographic algorithms. This…
This paper proposes the use of sets of keys, together with corresponding identifiers, for use in wireless sensor networks and similar resource-constrained applications. A specific cryptographic scheme described in the paper is based on the…
The vast existing wireless infrastructure features a variety of systems and standards. It is of significant practical value to introduce new features and devices without changing the physical layer/hardware infrastructure, but upgrade it…
Device-independent quantum key distribution is the task of using uncharacterized quantum devices to establish a shared key between two users. If a protocol is secure regardless of the device behaviour, it can be used to generate a shared…
We show that many known schemes of the public key exchange protocols in the algebraic cryptography, that use two-sided multiplications, are the specific cases of the general scheme of such type. In most cases, such schemes are built on…
