SEAD: Secure Efficient Distance Vector Routing for Mobile Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

by Yih-Chun Hu, David B. Johnson, Adrian Perrig , 2003
"... An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless computers (nodes), communicating among themselves over possibly multihop paths, without the help of any infrastructure such as base stations or access points. Although many previous ad hoc network routing protocols have been based in part on distance vec ..."

. In order to support use with nodes of limited CPU processing capability, and to guard against Denial-of-Service attacks in which an attacker attempts to cause other nodes to consume excess network bandwidth or processing time, we use efficient one-way hash functions and do not use asymmetric cryptographic

Universally composable security: A new paradigm for cryptographic protocols

by Ran Canetti , 2013
"... We present a general framework for representing cryptographic protocols and analyzing their security. The framework allows specifying the security requirements of practically any cryptographic task in a unified and systematic way. Furthermore, in this framework the security of protocols is preserved ..."

is preserved under a general protocol composition operation, called universal composition. The proposed framework with its security-preserving composition operation allows for modular design and analysis of complex cryptographic protocols from relatively simple building blocks. Moreover, within this framework

Security and Composition of Multi-party Cryptographic Protocols

by Ran Canetti - JOURNAL OF CRYPTOLOGY , 1998
"... We present general definitions of security for multi-party cryptographic protocols, with focus on the task of evaluating a probabilistic function of the parties' inputs. We show that, with respect to these definitions, security is preserved under a natural composition operation. The definiti ..."

Timing Attacks on Implementations of Diffie-Hellman, RSA, DSS, and Other Systems

by Paul C. Kocher , 1996
"... By carefully measuring the amount of time required to perform private key operations, attackers may be able to find fixed Diffie-Hellman exponents, factor RSA keys, and break other cryptosystems. Against a vulnerable system, the attack is computationally inexpensive and often requires only known cip ..."

A Key-Management Scheme for Distributed Sensor Networks

by Laurent Eschenauer, Virgil D. Gligor - In Proceedings of the 9th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security , 2002
"... Distributed Sensor Networks (DSNs) are ad-hoc mobile networks that include sensor nodes with limited computation and communication capabilities. DSNs are dynamic in the sense that they allow addition and deletion of sensor nodes after deployment to grow the network or replace failing and unreliable ..."

nodes. DSNs may be deployed in hostile areas where communication is monitored and nodes are subject to capture and surreptitious use by an adversary. Hence DSNs require cryptographic protection of communications, sensorcapture detection, key revocation and sensor disabling. In this paper, we present a

A randomized protocol for signing contracts

by Michael Ben-Or, Oded Goldreich, Silvio Micali, Ronald L. Rivest , 1990
"... Two parties, A and B, want to sign a contract C over a communication network. To do so, they must “simultaneously” exchange their commitments to C. Since simultaneous exchange is usually impossible in practice, protocols are needed to approximate simultaneity by exchanging partial commitments in pie ..."

commit both parties to the contract given that the other party can, is close to zero. This is true even if A and B have vastly different computing powers, and is proved under very weak cryptographic assumptions. Our protocol has the following additional properties: 4 during the procedure the parties

Ant Colony System: A cooperative learning approach to the traveling salesman problem

by Marco Dorigo, Luca Maria Gambardella - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION , 1997
"... This paper introduces the ant colony system (ACS), a distributed algorithm that is applied to the traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the ACS, a set of cooperating agents called ants cooperate to find good solutions to TSP’s. Ants cooperate using an indirect form of communication mediated by a pher ..."

The results show that the ACS outperforms other nature-inspired algorithms such as simulated annealing and evolutionary computation, and we conclude comparing

Securing ad hoc networks

by Lidong Zhou, Zygmunt J. Haas
"... Ad hoc networks are a new wireless networking paradigm for mobile hosts. Unlike traditional mobile wireless networks, ad hoc networks do not rely on any fixed infrastructure. Instead, hosts rely on each other to keep the network connected. The military tactical and other security-sensitive operation ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1064 (15 self) - Add to MetaCart
-sensitive operations are still the main applications of ad hoc networks, although there is a trend to adopt ad hoc networks for commercial uses due to their unique properties. One main challenge in design of these networks is their vulnerability to security attacks. In this paper, we study the threats an ad hoc

Encrypted Key Exchange: Password-Based Protocols Secure Against Dictionary Attacks

by Steven M. Bellovin, Michael Merritt - IEEE SYMPOSIUM ON RESEARCH IN SECURITY AND PRIVACY , 1992
"... Classical cryptographic protocols based on user-chosen keys allow an attacker to mount password-guessing attacks. We introduce a novel combination of asymmetric (public-key) and symmetric (secret-key) cryptography that allow two parties sharing a common password to exchange confidential and authenti ..."

The RC5 Encryption Algorithm

by Ronald L. Rivest , 1995
"... Abstract. This document describes the RC5 encryption algorithm. RC5 is a fast symmetric block cipher suitable for hardware or software implementations. A novel feature of RC5 is the heavy use of data-dependent rotations. RC5 has a variable word size, a variable number of rounds, and a variable-lengt ..."

Here we assume w = 32, although the formal speci cation of RC5 admits variants for other word lengths, such asw = 64 bits. RC5 has two
