Write-Only Oblivious RAM (WoORAM) protocols provide privacy by encrypting the contents
of data and also hiding the pattern of write operations over that data. WoORAMs provide …

The Open Smart Grid Protocol (OSGP) is currently deployed in various countries in large-
scale Smart Metering projects. The protocol was developed by the OSGP Alliance and …

We explore the use of the Mantin biases (Mantin, Eurocrypt 2005) to recover plaintexts from
RC4-encrypted traffic. We provide a more fine-grained analysis of these biases than in …

Communication in the digital age plays an important role, a person can carry out various
transactions or exchange data practically and quickly. So as to pose a great risk to …

Increasing uncontrolled best-effort traffic deteriorates the ability of TCP to control congestion
and is a source of high drop rates. This paper proposes an efficient congestion avoidance …

In the last few decades many aspects of our lives have been moved online. Banking and
payments, health care, private messaging, or critical infrastructure monitoring are just a …

Random numbers are very important components in cyber security. A main application of
random numbers is in the field of cryptography. PKI and TLS based encryption uses random …

Levillain et al.(Asia CCS 2015) proposed two cookie masking methods, TLS Scramble and
MCookies, to counter a class of attacks on SSL/TLS in which the attacker is able to exploit its …

1.1 Background Attacks against software are now major threats. In these attacks, the
sensitive information can be leaked even if underlying cryptographic primitives are secure …

Cryptographic protocols are a critical element of the infrastructure for secure communication.
They can be used to provide security guarantees for the exchanged data when multiple …
