For an identity-based authenticated key agreement (IDAK) protocol, PKG forward secrecy is the strongest notion of forward secrecy, which is about the security of previously established session keys after the master secret key of the Private Key Generatior (PKG) is compromised. In this paper, we put forward a new identity-based authenticated key agreement protocol which achieves PKG forward secr...

The concept of forward secrecy is extended to wireless sensor networks where it is frequent that nodes run out of energy and new nodes join the network. However it should not be able to retrieve the previous session key or some crucial information. In 2011 Hagras et al. proposed a key management scheme for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks, which satisfies confidentiality, authentication, ...

An important problem in the analysis of security protocols is that of checking whether a protocol preserves secrecy, i.e., no secret owned by the honest agents is unintentionally revealed to the intruder. This problem has been proved to be undecidable in several settings. In particular, [11] prove the undecidability of the secrecy problem in the presence of an unbounded set of nonces, even when...

In this paper we present a classification of network security techniques such as: secrecy, authentication, non-repudiation and integrity control. The secrecy techniques are two categories: cryptography and steganography. Steganography like cryptography is a very useful technique to achieve secrecy in communication. If both cryptography and steganography are used then the communication becomes t...

Trade secrecy is unique among the major forms of intellectual property as not being primarily governed by a federal statute. Unlike patents and copyrights, trade secrecy is a creation of state law, arising in the nineteenth century out of a variety of common law to become a separate source of protection against the improper acquisition, disclosure, and use of commercially-valuable information t...
