The fading broadcast channel with confidential messages (BCC) is investigated, where a source node has common information for two receivers (receivers 1 and 2), and has confidential information intended only for receiver 1. The confidential information needs to be kept as secret as possible from receiver 2. The broadcast channel from the source node to receivers 1 and 2 is corrupted by multiplicative fading gain coefficients in addition to additive Gaussian noise terms. The channel state information (CSI) is assumed to be known at both the transmitter and the receivers. The parallel BCC with independent subchannels is first studied, which serves as an information-theoretic model for the fading BCC. The secrecy capacity region of the parallel BCC is estab-lished. This result is then specialized to give the secrecy capacity region of the parallel BCC with degraded subchannels. The secrecy capacity region is then established for the parallel Gaussian BCC, and the optimal source power allocations that achieve the boundary of the secrecy capacity region are derived. In particular, the secrecy capacity region is established for the basic Gaussian BCC. The secrecy capacity results are then

We consider the Gaussian multiple access wire-tap channel (GMAC-WT). In this scenario, multiple users communicate with an intended receiver in the presence of an intelligent and informed wire-tapper who receives a degraded version of the signal at the receiver. We define suitable security measures for this multiaccess environment. Using codebooks generated randomly according to a Gaussian distribution, achievable secrecy rate regions are identified using superposition coding and time-division multiple access (TDMA) coding schemes. An upper bound for the secrecy sum-rate is derived, and our coding schemes are shown to achieve the sum capacity. Numerical results are presented showing the new rate region and comparing it with the capacity region of the Gaussian multiple-access channel (GMAC) with no secrecy constraints, which quantifies the price paid for secrecy.
An extension of the Shannon theory approach to cryptography

Abstract-Shannon’s information-theoretic approach to cryp-tography is reviewed and extended. It is shown that Shannon’s random cipher model is conservative in that a randomly chosen cipher is essentially the worst possible. This is in contrast with error-correcting codes where a randomly chosen code is essentially the best possible. The concepts of matching a cipher to a language and of the trade-off between local and global uncertainty are also developed. I

The general Gaussian multiple-access wiretap channel (GGMAC-WT) and the Gaussian two-way wiretap channel (GTW-WT) are considered. In the GGMAC-WT, multiple users communicate with an intended receiver in the presence of an eavesdropper who receives their signals through another GMAC. In the GTW-WT, two users communicate with each other over a common Gaussian channel, with an eavesdropper listening through a GMAC. A secrecy measure that is suitable for this multiterminal environment is defined, and achievable secrecy rate regions are found for both channels. For both cases, the power allocations maximizing the achievable secrecy sum rate are determined. It is seen that the optimum policy may prevent some terminals from transmission in order to preserve the secrecy of the system. Inspired by this construct, a new scheme cooperative jamming is proposed, where users who are prevented from transmitting according to the secrecy sum rate maximizing power allocation policy “jam ” the eavesdropper, thereby helping the remaining users. This scheme is shown to increase the achievable secrecy sum rate. Overall, our results show that in multiple-access scenarios, users can help each other to collectively achieve positive secrecy rates. In other words, cooperation among users can be invaluable for achieving secrecy for the system.
Faster 2-regular information-set decoding

Abstract. Fix positive integers B and w. Let C be a linear code over F2 of length Bw. The 2-regular-decoding problem is to find a nonzero codeword consisting of w length-B blocks, each of which has Hamming weight 0 or 2. This problem appears in attacks on the FSB (fast syndromebased) hash function and related proposals. This problem differs from the usual information-set-decoding problems in that (1) the target codeword is required to have a very regular structure and (2) the target weight can be rather high, so that there are many possible codewords of that weight. Augot, Finiasz, and Sendrier, in the paper that introduced FSB, presented a variant of information-set decoding tuned for 2-regular decoding. This paper improves the Augot–Finiasz–Sendrier algorithm in a way that is analogous to Stern’s improvement upon basic information-set decoding. The resulting algorithm achieves an exponential speedup over the previous algorithm. Keywords: Information-set decoding, 2-regular decoding, FSB, binary codes.

Abstract. The FSB (fast syndrome-based) hash function was submitted to the SHA-3 competition by Augot, Finiasz, Gaborit, Manuel, and Sendrier in 2008, after preliminary designs proposed in 2003, 2005, and 2007. Many FSB parameter choices were broken by Coron and Joux in 2004, Saarinen in 2007, and Fouque and Leurent in 2008, but the basic FSB idea appears to be secure, and the FSB submission remains unbroken. On the other hand, the FSB submission is also quite slow, and was not selected for the second round of the competition. This paper introduces RFSB, an enhancement to FSB. In particular, this paper introduces the RFSB-509 compression function, RFSB with a particular set of parameters. RFSB-509, like the FSB-256 compression function, is designed to be used inside a 256-bit collision-resistant hash function: all known attack strategies cost more than 2 128 to find collisions in RFSB-509. However, RFSB-509 is an order of magnitude faster than FSB-256. On a single core of a Core 2 Quad Q9550 CPU, RFSB-509 runs at 10.67 cycles/byte: faster than SHA-256, faster than 7 of the 14 secondround SHA-3 candidates, and faster than 3 of the 5 SHA-3 finalists. Key words: compression functions, collision resistance, linearization, generalized birthday attacks, information-set decoding, tight reduction to L1 cache. 1

Abstract. This paper introduces a new generic decoding algorithm that is asymptotically faster than any previous attack against the McEliece cryptosystem. At a 256-bit security level, the attack costs 2.6 times fewer bit operations than the best previous attack; at a theoretical 1000-bit security level, the attack costs 15.5 times fewer bit operations than the best previous attack. The algorithm is asymptotically even faster than the Finiasz–Sendrier “lower bound ” published at Asiacrypt 2009, demonstrating that the Finiasz–Sendrier parameter recommendations are not as secure as claimed. This paper proposes much safer, but still reasonably efficient, parameters based on an analysis of the fundamental bottleneck in all algorithms of this type.

Let H(y) be the entropy of Y when nothing is known be rewritten as about k. Let H:)(y) be the conditional entropy of Y for a given x, after i pairs (3,~~) have been intercepted. Let H(k) be the entropy of K. Smce f(x, k) is an unknown function if k is unknown, this equation from [2] is valid:
