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

Secure sessions from weak secrets
TL;DR: New protocols for secure strong secret sharing, based on RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and El-Gamal, are presented, which are simpler and quicker than their predecessors and have stronger security properties.
SAT-based Model-Checking of Security Protocols
TL;DR: This thesis shows that automatic SATbased model-checking techniques based on a reduction of protocol insecurity problems to propositional satisfiability problems (SAT) can be used effectively to find attacks on security protocols.

A security solution for IEEE 802.11's ad hoc mode: password-authentication and group Diffie Hellman key exchange
TL;DR: This paper leverages the latest developments in the area of password-based authentication and (group) Diffie Hellman key exchange to develop a provably secure key-exchange protocol for IEEE 802.11's ad hoc mode, which is the first such protocol to appear in the cryptographic literature.

Challenge-Response Authentication Using In-Air Handwriting Style Verification
TL;DR: A biometric-based CR authentication scheme derived from the motions as a user operates emerging depth-sensor- based input devices, such as a Leap Motion controller, that can reliably authenticate users, even if what they write is completely different every time.

A method for obtaining digital signatures and public-key cryptosystems
TL;DR: An encryption method is presented with the novel property that publicly revealing an encryption key does not thereby reveal the corresponding decryption key.

A public key cryptosystem and a signature scheme based on discrete logarithms
TL;DR: A new signature scheme is proposed, together with an implementation of the Diffie-Hellman key distribution scheme that achieves a public key cryptosystem that relies on the difficulty of computing discrete logarithms over finite fields.

A Public Key Cryptosystem and a Signature Scheme Based on Discrete Logarithms
TL;DR: In this article, a new signature scheme is proposed together with an implementation of the Diffie-Hellman key distribution scheme that achieves a public key cryptosystem and the security of both systems relies on the difficulty of computing discrete logarithms over finite fields.
