This is the second edition of Understanding Cryptography. Ever since we released the first
edition in 2009, we have been humbled by the many positive responses we received from …

In spite of the central role of key derivation functions (KDF) in applied cryptography, there
has been little formal work addressing the design and analysis of general multi-purpose …

An identity-based encryption (IBE) scheme can greatly reduce the complexity of sending
encrypted messages. However, an IBE scheme necessarily requires a private-key generator …

Recently, there has been an increased focus and a sense of urgency in developing
standards for Power Grid systems centered on the need for interoperability. Given the threat …

We describe two new attacks on the HMQV protocol. The first attack raises a serious
question on the basic definition of “authentication” in HMQV, while the second attack is …

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (or MANETs) are flexible networks that are expected to support
emerging group applications such as spontaneous collaborative activities and rescue …

The invention of public-key cryptography led to the notion that cryptographically protected
messages could be used as evidence to convince an impartial adjudicator that a disputed …

This paper investigates the question of whether a key agreement protocol with the same
communication complexity as the original Diffie-Hellman protocol (DHP)(two messages with …

We study the security of the widely deployed Secure Session Layer/Transport Layer Security
(TLS) key agreement protocol. Our analysis identifies, justifies, and exploits the modularity …
