Advances in cryptology

Más información sobre el libro

The book covers a wide range of topics in cryptography and security, including attacks on hash functions, with a focus on SHA-1 and SHA-0, and explores forgery and key-recovery attacks on HMAC and NMAC. It delves into stream ciphers and Boolean functions, presenting a new guess-and-determine attack on self-shrinking generators and discussing the security of stream ciphers based on arrays. The construction and analysis of Boolean functions with maximum algebraic immunity are also examined. Biometric security is addressed, including secure sketch techniques for biometric templates and the application of the 2-adic CM method for genus 2 curves in cryptography. The text discusses identity-based schemes, including HIBE with short public parameters, and examines forward-secure and searchable broadcast encryption with compact ciphertexts. Public-key schemes are analyzed, focusing on the security of RSA-based pseudorandom generators and OAEP. The relationship between plaintext awareness and message hiding in the standard model is explored, alongside the equivalence of RSA and factoring in generic ring algorithms. The construction of hash functions is discussed, including security analyses of popular hash functions and new domain extension techniques. Protocols are presented, such as a scalable password-based group key exchange and weaknesses in certain oblivious transfer protocols. The book also covers block ciphers, including n
