Abstract Multi-authenticated encryption is an important message transmission technique, which can send message in a secure and authentic way, and allows a group of signers to cooperatively produce a valid authenticated ciphertext so that only the specific recipient can recover the message and verify the signature. In 2008, Wu et al. proposed a convertible multi-authenticated encryption scheme. ...

Authenticated encryption schemes used in order to send one message to one recipient have received considerable attention in the last years. We investigate the case of schemes, we call authenticated 1→n schemes, that allow one to encrypt efficiently in a public-key setting a message for several, say n, recipients in an authenticated manner. We propose formal security definitions for such schemes...

emph{ Smooth Projective Hash Functions } ( SPHFs ) as a specific pattern of zero knowledge proof system are fundamental tools to build many efficient cryptographic schemes and protocols. As an application of SPHFs, emph { Password - Based Authenticated Key Exchange } ( PAKE ) protocol is well-studied area in the last few years. In 2009, Katz and Vaikuntanathan described the first lattice-based ...

Xinjun Du, Ying Wang, Jianhua Ge and Yumin Wang Key Laboratory of Computer Networks and Information Security Xidian University Xi’an 710071, P.R. China Abstract. Authenticated group key agreement problem is important in many modern collaborative and distributed applications. There are two ID-based authenticated group key agreement schemes have been proposed by Choi et al. and us, which are base...

Recent studyoncertificateless authenticated key agreement focuses on bilinear pairing-freecertificateless authenticated key agreement protocol. Yet it has got limitations in the aspect of computational amount.So it is important to reduce the number of the scalar multiplication over elliptic curve group in bilinear pairing-free protocols. This paper proposed a new bilinear pairing-freecertificat...

This memo describes SIV (Synthetic Initialization Vector), a block cipher mode of operation. SIV takes a key, a plaintext, and multiple variable-length octet strings that will be authenticated but not encrypted. It produces a ciphertext having the same length as the plaintext and a synthetic initialization vector. Depending on how it is used, SIV achieves either the goal of deterministic authen...

By combining the two notations of ring signature and authenticated encryption together, we introduce a new type of authenticated encryption signature, called ring authenticated encryption, which has the following properties: signer-ambiguity, signer-verifiability, recipient-designation, semantic-security, verification-convertibility, verification-dependence and recipient-ambiguity. We also give...

We introduce the notion of persistent authenticated dictionaries, that is, dictionaries where the user can make queries of the type “was element e in set S at time t?” and get authenticated answers. Applications include credential and certificate validation checking in the past (as in digital signatures for electronic contracts), digital receipts, and electronic tickets. We present two data str...
