Short Signatures from the Weil Pairing

TLDR
A short signature scheme based on the Computational Diffie-Hellman assumption on certain elliptic and hyperelliptic curves is introduced, designed for systems where signatures are typed in by a human or signatures are sent over a low-bandwidth channel.
Abstract
We introduce a short signature scheme based on the Computational Diffie-Hellman assumption on certain elliptic and hyperelliptic curves. The signature length is half the size of a DSA signature for a similar level of security. Our short signature scheme is designed for systems where signatures are typed in by a human or signatures are sent over a low-bandwidth channel.

Postmodern Internetwork Architecture

TL;DR: This project aims to design, implement, and evaluate through daily use a minimalist internetwork layer and auxiliary functionality that anticipates tussles and allows them to be played out in policy space, as opposed to in the packet-forwarding path.

Universal designated verifier signature proof (or how to efficiently prove knowledge of a signature)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new type of UDVS called Universal Designated Verifier Signature Proof (UDVSP), which employs an interactive protocol between the signature holder and the verifier while maintaining high level of efficiency.

How to Build an Ideal Cipher: The Indifferentiability of the Feistel Construction

TL;DR: This paper provides the first provably secure construction of an invertible random permutation (and of an ideal cipher) from a public random function that can be evaluated by all parties in the system, including the adversary.

Compact hardware for computing the Tate pairing over 128-bit-security supersingular curves.

TL;DR: This paper presents a novel method for designing compact yet efficient hardware implementations of the Tate pairing over supersingular curves in small characteristic by considering curves over field extensions of moderately-composite degree, hence taking advantage of a much easier tower field arithmetic.

The PACE|AA Protocol for Machine Readable Travel Documents, and Its Security

TL;DR: It is formally proved that this more efficient combination of cryptographic protocols adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization not only preserves the desirable security properties of the two individual protocols but also increases privacy by preventing misuse of the challenge in the Active Authentication protocol.

Random oracles are practical: a paradigm for designing efficient protocols

TL;DR: It is argued that the random oracles model—where all parties have access to a public random oracle—provides a bridge between cryptographic theory and cryptographic practice, and yields protocols much more efficient than standard ones while retaining many of the advantages of provable security.

Identity-Based Encryption from the Weil Pairing

TL;DR: This work proposes a fully functional identity-based encryption (IBE) scheme based on bilinear maps between groups and gives precise definitions for secure IBE schemes and gives several applications for such systems.

The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves

TL;DR: It is shown here how Elliptic Curves over Finite Fields, Local Fields, and Global Fields affect the geometry of the elliptic curves.

A digital signature scheme secure against adaptive chosen-message attacks

TL;DR: A digital signature scheme based on the computational difficulty of integer factorization possesses the novel property of being robust against an adaptive chosen-message attack: an adversary who receives signatures for messages of his choice cannot later forge the signature of even a single additional message.
