One obsession at a time: a brief biography of Silvio Micali

Three-party authenticated key exchange protocol (3PAKE) is an important cryptographic technique for secure communication which allows two parties to agree a new secure session key with the help of a trusted server. In this paper, we propose a new three-...

A secret sharing scheme is a method for distributing a secret among several parties in such a way that only qualified subsets of the parties can reconstruct it and unqualified subsets receive no information about the secret. A multi-secret sharing ...

The Key-exchange protocol is one of the most basic and widely used cryptographic protocols in internet for secure communication. In a two-party setting, cryptographic protocol design has often ignored the possibility of <em>simultaneous </em> message ...
