چکیده

of “Efficient Cryptography for the Next Generation Secure Cloud” by Alptekin Küpçü, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2010. Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, and client-server type storage and computation outsourcing constitute some of the major applications that the next generation cloud schemes will address. Since these applications are just emerging, it is the perfect time to design them with security and privacy in mind. Furthermore, considering the highchurn characteristics of such systems, the cryptographic protocols employed must be efficient and scalable. This thesis shows that cryptography can be used to efficiently and scalably provide security and privacy for the next generation cloud systems. We start by describing an efficient and scalable fair exchange protocol that can be used for exchanging files between participants of a P2P file sharing system. In this system, there are two central authorities that we introduce: the arbiter and the bank. We then try distributing these entities to reduce trust assumptions and to improve performance. Our work on distributing the arbiter leads to impossibility results, whereas our work on distributing the bank leads to a more general cloud computation result showing how a boss can employ untrusted contractors, and fine or reward them. We then consider cloud storage scenario, where the client outsources storage of her files to an untrusted server. We show how the client can challenge the server to prove that her file is kept intact, even when the files are dynamic. Next, we provide an agreement protocol for a dynamic message, where two parties agree on the latest version of a message that changes over time. We then apply this agreement protocol to the cloud storage setting and show how a judge can arbitrate between the client and the server officially based on the agreed-upon message and the proof sent by the server. Lastly, we show that all our solutions are efficient and scalable by presenting results from the cryptographic library we implemented.

An efficient certificateless signcryption scheme in the standard model

Certificateless public key cryptography (CL-PKC) is a useful method in order to solve the problems of traditional public key infrastructure (i.e., large amount of computation, storage and communication costs for managing certificates) and ID-based public key cryptography (i.e., key escrow problem), simultaneously. A signcryption scheme is an important primitive in cryptographic protocols which ...

An ECC-Based Mutual Authentication Scheme with One Time Signature (OTS) in Advanced Metering Infrastructure

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is a key part of the smart grid; thus, one of the most important concerns is to offer a secure mutual authentication.  This study focuses on communication between a smart meter and a server on the utility side. Hence, a mutual authentication mechanism in AMI is presented based on the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and one time signature (OTS) consists o...

Provably secure and efficient identity-based key agreement protocol for independent PKGs using ECC

Key agreement protocols are essential for secure communications in open and distributed environments. Recently, identity-based key agreement protocols have been increasingly researched because of the simplicity of public key management. The basic idea behind an identity-based cryptosystem is that a public key is the identity (an arbitrary string) of a user, and the corresponding private key is ...

An efficient secure channel coding scheme based on polar codes

In this paper, we propose a new framework for joint encryption encoding scheme based on polar codes, namely efficient and secure joint secret key encryption channel coding scheme. The issue of using new coding structure, i.e. polar codes in Rao-Nam (RN) like schemes is addressed. Cryptanalysis methods show that the proposed scheme has an acceptable level of security with a relatively smaller ke...

QTRU: quaternionic version of the NTRU public-key cryptosystems

In this paper we will construct a lattice-based public-key cryptosystem using non-commutative quaternion algebra, and since its lattice does not fully fit within Circular and Convolutional Modular Lattice (CCML), we prove it is arguably more secure than the existing lattice-based cryptosystems such as NTRU. As in NTRU, the proposed public-key cryptosystem relies for its inherent securi...

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is advocated as the major supporting technology for the next generation wireless Internet satisfying the needs of anywhere-anytime broadband Internet access. In order to support secure ubiquitous communications for mobile users, WMN must have an efficient key setup procedure to secure control packets as well as data packets. In this paper we apply four different cryp...
