On the Use of Complexity in Cryptography

چکیده

A computational complexity gap, captured in the definition of one-way functions, is a necessary and sufficient condition for much of modern cryptography. Loosely speaking, one-way functions are functions that are easy to compute but hard to invert (in an average-case sense). The existence of one-way functions implies that P is different than NP , which means that such a complexity gap is only wide conjectured to exist (rather than known for a fact). We demonstrate the use of this gap in the case of two basic cryptographic tasks: The tasks of providing secret and authenticated communication, which in turn are reduced to the construction of encryption and signature schemes.

An Introduction to Differential Computation Analysis (DCA) on the withe-box cryptography algorithms

Advances in information and communication technologies lead to use of some new devices such as smart phones. The new devices provide more advantages for the adversaries hence with respect to them, one can define with-box cryptography. In this new model of cryptography, designers try to hide the key using as a kind of implementation. The Differential Computation Analysis (DCA) is a side channel ...

Biclique Cryptanalysis of Block Ciphers LBlock and TWINE-80 with Practical Data Complexity

In the biclique attack, a shorter biclique usually results in less data complexity, but at the expense of more computational complexity. The early abort technique can be used in partial matching part of the biclique attack in order to slightly reduce the computations. In this paper, we make use of this technique, but instead of slight improvement in the computational complexity, we keep the amo...

A Fast Publicly Verifiable Secret Sharing Scheme using Non-homogeneous Linear Recursions

A non-interactive (t,n)-publicly veriable secret sharing scheme (non-interactive (t,n)-PVSS scheme) is a (t,n)-secret sharing scheme in which anyone, not only the participants of the scheme, can verify the correctness of the produced shares without interacting with the dealer and participants. The (t,n)-PVSS schemes have found a lot of applications in cryptography because they are suitable for<...

Distance-Aware Beamforming for Multiuser Secure Communication Systems

Typical cryptography schemes are not well suited for low complexity types of equipment, e.g., Internet of things (IoT) devices, as they may need high power or impose high computational complexity on the device. Physical (PHY) layer security techniques such as beamforming (in multiple antennas systems)  are possible alternatives to provide security for such applications. In this paper, we consid...
