Security and privacy are the major concerns in cloud computing as users have limited
access on the stored data at the remote locations managed by different service providers …

Cryptography plays a key role in ensuring the privacy and integrity of data and the security of
computer networks. Introduction to Modern Cryptography provides a rigorous yet accessible …

This paper presents a generic conversion from weak asymmetric and symmetric encryption
schemes to an asymmetric encryption scheme that is chosen-ciphertext secure in the …

We present a (probabilistic) public key encryption (PKE) scheme such that when being
implemented in a bilinear group, anyone is able to check whether two ciphertexts are …

We construct the first public-key encryption (PKE) scheme whose chosen-ciphertext (ie, IND-
CCA) security can be proved under a standard assumption and does not degrade in either …

Designing lightweight security protocols for cloud-based Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications
for battery-limited mobile devices, such as smart phones and laptops, is a topic of recent …

An unresolved problem in research on authenticated key exchange (AKE) in the public-key
setting is to construct a secure protocol against advanced attacks such as key compromise …

Abstract Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a non-negligible subset of IoT, which focuses
on solving special requirements in industrial applications. In IIoT environments, remote …

Non-interactive key exchange (NIKE) is a fundamental but much-overlooked cryptographic
primitive. It appears as a major contribution in the ground-breaking paper of Diffie and …

We introduce a new information-theoretic primitive called programmable hash functions
(PHFs). PHFs can be used to program the output of a hash function such that it contains …
