Practical Distributed Key Generation Scheme

by Chen Huiyan, Li Zichen, Fang Yong
"... Abstract. Generating a distributed key, where a constant fraction of the players can reconstruct the key, is an essential component of threshold cryptography. Previous solutions are based on univariate polynomials. We present a new distributed key generation (DKG) protocol. The key idea of our schem ..."

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 ..."

Random Key Predistribution Schemes for Sensor Networks”,

by Haowen Chan , Adrian Perrig , Dawn Song - IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, , 2003
"... Abstract Efficient key distribution is the basis for providing secure communication, a necessary requirement for many emerging sensor network applications. Many applications require authentic and secret communication among neighboring sensor nodes. However, establishing keys for secure communicatio ..."

mechanism, random-pairwise keys scheme, to enable node-to-node authentication without involving a base station and perfect resilience against node capture. We also show how we enable distributed node revocation based on this scheme. To the best of our knowledge, no previous scheme supports efficient node

A public key cryptosystem and a signature scheme based on discrete logarithms

by Taher Elgamal - ADV. IN CRYPTOLOGY, SPRINGER-VERLAG , 1985
"... A new signature scheme is proposed, together with an implementation of the Diffie-Hellman key distribution scheme that achieves a public key cryptosystem. The security of both systems relies on the difficulty of computing discrete logarithms over finite fields. ..."

Establishing Pairwise Keys in Distributed Sensor Networks

by Donggang Liu, Peng Ning , 2003
"... Pairwise key establishment is a fundamental security service in sensor networks; it enables sensor nodes to communicate securely with each other using cryptographic techniques. However, due to the resource constraints on sensors, it is infeasible to use traditional key management techniques such as ..."

To facilitate the study of novel pairwise key predistribution techniques, this paper presents a general framework for establishing pairwise keys between sensors on the basis of a polynomial-based key predistribution protocol [2].

Fuzzy extractors: How to generate strong keys from biometrics and other noisy data

by Yevgeniy Dodis, Rafail Ostrovsky, Leonid Reyzin, Adam Smith , 2008
"... We provide formal definitions and efficient secure techniques for • turning noisy information into keys usable for any cryptographic application, and, in particular, • reliably and securely authenticating biometric data. Our techniques apply not just to biometric information, but to any keying mater ..."
Abstract - Cited by 535 (38 self) - Add to MetaCart
material that, unlike traditional cryptographic keys, is (1) not reproducible precisely and (2) not distributed uniformly. We propose two primitives: a fuzzy extractor reliably extracts nearly uniform randomness R from its input; the extraction is error-tolerant in the sense that R will be the same even

Network Coding for Large Scale Content Distribution

by Christos Gkantsidis, Pablo Rodriguez Rodriguez
"... We propose a new scheme for content distribution of large files that is based on network coding. With network coding, each node of the distribution network is able to generate and transmit encoded blocks of information. The randomization introduced by the coding process eases the scheduling of bloc ..."

Algorithms for Scalable Synchronization on Shared-Memory Multiprocessors

by John M. Mellor-crummey, Michael L. Scott - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1991
"... Busy-wait techniques are heavily used for mutual exclusion and barrier synchronization in shared-memory parallel programs. Unfortunately, typical implementations of busy-waiting tend to produce large amounts of memory and interconnect contention, introducing performance bottlenecks that become marke ..."
