Separating two roles of hashing in one-way message authentication

We analyse two new and related families of one-way authentication protocols, where a party wants to authenticate its public information to another. In the first, the objective is to do without shared passwords or a PKI, making use of low-bandwidth empirical/authentic channels where messages cannot be faked or modified. The analysis of these leads to a new security principle, termed separation o...

One More Way to Encrypt a Message

This work describes an example of an application of a novel method for symmetric cryptography. Its purpose is to show how a regular message can be encrypted and then decrypted in an easy, yet secure way. The encrypting method introduced in this work is different from others because it involves decimals as well as integers, encrypting the same initial message differently every time, and insertin...

Diagnosing Network Bottlenecks: One-sided Message Contention

Two trends suggest that one-sided message network contention is poised to become a cause of concern for scientific application developers. First, there is an increased interest in one-sided messages motivated by Global Address Space (GAS) programming models such as Unified Parallel C (UPC) [1], Co-Array Fortran (CAF) [2], [3], Global Arrays [4], and Chapel [5]. The GAS programming model provide...
