Cryptography, in particular public-key cryptography, has emerged in the last 20 years as an
important discipline that is not only the subject of an enormous amount of research, but …

The use of cryptographic hash functions like MD5 or SHA-1 for message authentication has
become a standard approach in many applications, particularly Internet security protocols …

In this paper we present a new multi‐authority secret‐ballot election scheme that guarantees
privacy, universal veriability, and robustness. It is the first scheme for which the performance …

We describe a message authentication algorithm, UMAC, which can authenticate messages
(in software, on contemporary machines) roughly an order of magnitude faster than current …

Efficient hashing is a centerpiece of modern Cryptography. The progress in computing
technology enables us to use 64-bit machines with the promise of 128-bit machines in the …

Abstract Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are a common and useful tool in
manufacturing, supply chain management and retail inventory control. Optical barcodes …

There are well-known techniques for message authentication using universal hash
functions. This approach seems very promising, as it provides schemes that are both …

The volume and complexity of data processed by today's personal computers are increasing
exponentially, placing incredible demands on the microprocessors. In the meantime …

We describe a construction of almost universal hash functions suitable for very fast software
implementation and applicable to the hashing of variable size data and fast cryptographic …

Security-critical real-time applications such as military aircraft flight control systems have
mandatory security requirements in addition to stringent timing constraints. Conventional …
