The Combinatorics of Cryptographic Key Establishment
نویسنده
چکیده
One of the most important processes involved in securing a cryptographic system is establishing the keys on which the system will rely. In this article we review the significant contribution of combinatorial mathematics to the development of the theory of cryptographic key establishment. We will describe relevant applications, review current research and, where appropriate, identify areas where further research is required.

Development of a Unique Biometric-based Cryptographic Key Generation with Repeatability using Brain Signals
Network security is very important when sending confidential data through the network. Cryptography is the science of hiding information, and a combination of cryptography solutions with cognitive science starts a new branch called cognitive cryptography that guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of the data. Brain signals as a biometric indicator can convert to a binary code which can be...
متن کاملDenial-of-service resistance in key establishment
Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are an increasing problem for network connected systems. Key establishment protocols are applications that are particularly vulnerable to DoS attack as they are typically required to perform computationally expensive cryptographic operations in order to authenticate the protocol initiator and to generate the cryptographic keying material that will subsequently be...
متن کاملDifferential Power Analysis: A Serious Threat to FPGA Security
Differential Power Analysis (DPA) implies measuring the supply current of a cipher-circuit in an attempt to uncover part of a cipher key. Cryptographic security gets compromised if the current waveforms obtained correlate with those from a hypothetical power model of the circuit. As FPGAs are becoming integral parts of embedded systems and increasingly popular for cryptographic applications and...
متن کاملDesign of Secure Key Establishment Protocols: Successes, Failures and Prospects
Key establishment protocols form one of the most basic types of cryptographic protocols and have been studied intensively for over 20 years. The current status of design and analysis methods is reviewed with particular reference to formal appoaches. Likely future trends and open issues are also discussed.
متن کاملApplications of Combinatorics to Information-Theoretic Cryptography
3 4 CONTENTS Preface Cryptology, as the scientific study of secure communications, began in World War II. Ever since the foundational work by Shannon [50], and especially after the introduction of public key cryptography in the seventies [21, 46], applications to cryptology have appeared from an increasing number of areas in mathematics. Combinatorics is one of them. For instance, the difficult...
