Rubber Hose for Use on Aeroplanes.

Neuroscience Meets Cryptography: Designing Crypto Primitives Secure Against Rubber Hose Attacks

Cryptographic systems often rely on the secrecy of cryptographic keys given to users. Many schemes, however, cannot resist coercion attacks where the user is forcibly asked by an attacker to reveal the key. These attacks, known as rubber hose cryptanalysis, are often the easiest way to defeat cryptography. We present a defense against coercion attacks using the concept of implicit learning from...

Theme Interception Sequence Learning: Deflecting Rubber-Hose Attacks Using Implicit Learning

Existing cryptographic systems use strong passwords but several techniques are vulnerable to rubber-hose attacks, wherein the user is forced to reveal the secret key. This paper specifies a defense technique against rubberhose attacks by taking advantage of image sequence-based theme selection, dependent on a user’s personal construct and active implicit learning. In this paper, an attempt to a...

Summary of Neuroscience Meets Cryptography: Designing Crypto Primitives Secure Against Rubber Hose Attacks

Majority of currently deployed authentication systems rely on a secret string or a key. For the system to be secure it is required that secret remains a secret. However, using rubber hose attacks it is possible to persuade or force someone to reveal the secret leading to a security breach. The authors in this paper present a security system in which the secret is learnt by users without any con...

Risk of measles transmission on aeroplanes: Australian experience 2007-2011.

OBJECTIVE To quantify the risk of transmission of measles associated with infectious people who travelled on aeroplane flights to or within Australia. DESIGN, SETTING AND SUBJECTS Data were obtained from state and territory health authorities on all measles notifications from January 2007 to June 2011 for people who were likely to have been infectious or infected while travelling on aeroplane...
