TLDR
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.Abstract:
Classic cryptographic protocols based on user-chosen keys allow an attacker to mount password-guessing attacks. 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. In particular, a protocol relying on the counter-intuitive motion of using a secret key to encrypt a public key is presented. Such protocols are secure against active attacks, and have the property that the password is protected against offline dictionary attacks. >read more

TL;DR: The author explores possible strategies for repairing this security hole, the most viable of which is the use of Kerberos V5 preauthentication coupled with a secure password authentication protocol such as SRP.

Networked cryptographic devices resilient to capture
TL;DR: A simple technique by which a device that performs private key operations in networked applications and whose local private key is activated with a password or PIN can be immunized to offline dictionary attacks in case the device is captured is presented.

The Logic of Authentication Protocols
Paul Syverson,Iliano Cervesato +1 more
TL;DR: The rationale of authentication has been a topic of study for about a decade and a half as discussed by the authors, and first attempts at formal analysis of authentication protocols were not using logics per se, but were certainly logical.

Lighting system with lighting units using optical communication
TL;DR: In this paper, a plurality of lighting units (10, 10') each comprise, a lighting element (12) with a lighting control unit (14) for controlling its light output, and a communication unit (16, 16') for communicating over a communication medium, e.g. RF or power line communication.
