An Efficient Secure Oblivious Transfer
As traditional oblivious transfer protocols are treated as a cryptographic primitive, they are usually executed without the consideration of possible attacks, e.g., impersonation, replaying, and man-in-the-middle attacks. Therefore, when these protocols are applied in certain applications such as mental poker playing, some necessary mechanism must be executed first to ensure the security of sub...
متن کاملIntercepting Tokens: The Empire Strikes Back in the Clone Wars
We discuss interception attacks on cryptographic protocols which rely on trustworthy hardware like one-time memory tokens (Goldwasser et al., Crypto 2008). In such attacks the adversary can mount man-in-the-middle attacks and access, or even substitute, transmitted tokens. We show that many of the existing token-based protocols are vulnerable against this kind of attack, which typically lies ou...
متن کاملQuantum Cryptography : Security analyses of multiuser quantum communication with embedded authentication
Three quantum cryptographic protocols of multiuser quantum networks with embedded authentication, allowing quantum key distribution or quantum direct communication, are discussed in this work (Hong et al., 2006, Lee et al., 2005, 2006). The security of the protocols against different types of attacks is analysed with a focus on various impersonation attacks and the man-in-the-middle attack. On ...
متن کاملFast and Secure Immunization Against Adaptive Man-in-the-Middle Impersonation
We present a simple method for constructing identiication schemes resilient against impersonation and man-in-the-middle attacks. Though zero-knowledge or witness hiding protocols are known to withstand attacks of the rst kind, all such protocols previously proposed suuer from a weakness observed by Bengio et al. : a malicious veriier may simply act as a moderator between the prover and yet anot...
متن کاملA Novel k-out-of-n Oblivious Transfer Protocol from Bilinear Pairing
As traditional oblivious transfer protocols are treated as cryptographic primitives in most cases, they are usually executed without the consideration of possible attacks, e.g., impersonation, replaying, and man-in-the-middle attacks. Therefore, when these protocols are applied in certain applications, such as mental poker game playing and fairly contracts signing, some extra mechanisms must be...
