Hedged Public-Key Encryption: How to Protect against Bad Randomness

Public-key encryption schemes rely for their IND-CPA security on per-message fresh randomness. In practice, randomness may be of poor quality for a variety of reasons, leading to failure of the schemes. Expecting the systems to improve is unrealistic. What we show in this paper is that we can, instead, improve the cryptography to offset the lack of possible randomness. We provide public-key enc...

How to protect biometric templates

In addition to the inherent qualities that biometrics posses, powerful signal processing tools enabled widespread deployment of the biometric-based identification/verification systems. However, due to the nature of biometric data, well-established cryptographic tools (such as hashing, encryption, etc.) are not sufficient for solving one of the most important problems related to biometric system...

How to protect the protector?

This paper describes ongoing research to harden the lower part of the software stack, normally not covered by existing software-based fault-tolerance mechanisms. I discuss a combination of four techniques to harden the operating system kernel against hardware faults: resilient data structures, asynchronous checks, restartable OS services, and message protection. I present initial performance re...
