Abstract

Powerful mobile devices with minimal I/O capabilities increase the likelihood that we will want to annex these devices to I/O resources we encounter in the local environment. This opportunistic annexing will require authentication. We present a sensor-based authentication mechanism for mobile devices that relies on physical possession instead of knowledge to setup the initial connection to a public terminal. Our solution provides a simple mechanism for shaking a device to authenticate with the public infrastructure, making few assumptions about the surrounding infrastructure while also maintaining a reasonable level of security.

Robust key authentication scheme resistant to public key substitution attacks

In the public key cryptosystem, each user owns a private key and a corresponding public key. When two parties want to communicate with each other, the message is encrypted with recipient's public key such that only the recipient can decrypt the ...

Abstract
Multi-Recipient Encryption allows users to send secure messages to any chosen set of registered users. In ACISP’21, Blazy et al. proposed a multi-recipient encryption with attribute-hiding revocation where ciphertexts do not reveal any information ...
Secure public-key encryption scheme without random oracles
