Along with the rapid development and wide application of information technology, human
society has entered the information era. In this era, people live and work in cyberspace …

In the era of smart healthcare, Internet of Medical Things-based Cyber-Physical Systems
(IoMT-based-CPS) play an important role in acquiring, evaluating, monitoring, tracking, and …

In this paper, we propose a novel fuzzy matching data sharing scheme named FADS for
cloud-edge communications. FADS allows users to specify their access policies, and …

Abstract Fuzzy Password-Authenticated Key Exchange (fuzzy PAKE) allows cryptographic
keys to be generated from authentication data that is both fuzzy and of low entropy. The …

A secret image is split into shares in the generation phase of secret image sharing (SIS) for a
threshold. In the recovery phase, the secret image is recovered when any or more shares …

Multi-factor authenticated key exchange (AKE) enables a user to be authenticated by a
server using multiple factors and negotiate a shared session key to protect subsequent …

Suppose Alice uses at-out-of-n secret sharing to store her secret key on n servers. Her
secret key is protected as long as t of them do not collude. However, what if a less-than-t …

Threshold secret sharing enables distributing a message to n parties such that no subset of
fewer than t parties can learn the message, whereas any subset of at least t parties can …

Consider key agreement by two parties who start out knowing a common secret (which we
refer to as “pass-string”, a generalization of “password”), but face two complications:(1) the …

Error tolerant password-authenticated key exchange (PAKE) allows a user to authenticate to
a server using a password and agree on a session key with the server, provided that the …
