Encrypted key exchange: password-based protocols secure against dictionary attacks
TL;DR: A combination of asymmetric (public-key) and symmetric (secret- key) cryptography that allow two parties sharing a common password to exchange confidential and authenticated information over an insecure network is introduced.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Augmented encrypted key exchange: a password-based protocol secure against dictionary attacks and password file compromise
TL;DR: Two ways to accomplish EKE augmented so that hosts do not store cleartext passwords are shown, one using digital signatures and one that relies on a family of commutative one-way functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atomic snapshots of shared memory
TL;DR: Three wait-free implementations of atomicsnapshot memory are presented, one of which uses unbounded(integer) fields in these registers, and is particularly easy tounderstand, while the second and third use bounded registers.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Atomic snapshots of shared memory
TL;DR: A general formulation of atonuc wzap~hot rnenzory, a shared memory partitioned into words written (apduted) by individual processes, or instantaneously read (scanned) in its entirety is introduced.
Limitations of the Kerberos Authentication System.
TL;DR: Despite its many strengths, the Kerberos authentication system has a number of limitations and some weaknesses as mentioned in this paper, some of which are due to specifics of the MIT environment; others represent deficiencies in the protocol design.
