In the last few years, the appealing features of cloud computing have been fueling the
integration of cloud environments in the industry, which has been consequently motivating …

Random numbers are an essential input to many functions on the Internet of Things (IoT).
Common use cases of randomness range from low-level packet transmission to advanced …

RSA and DSA can fail catastrophically when used with malfunctioning random number
generators, but the extent to which these problems arise in practice has never been …

In recent years, researchers have proposed systems for running trusted code on an
untrusted operating system. Protection mechanisms deployed by such systems keep a …

Encrypted database systems provide a great method for protecting sensitive data in
untrusted infrastructures. These systems are built using either specialpurpose cryptographic …

Data confidentiality is one of the biggest concerns that hinders enterprise customers from
moving their workloads to the cloud. Thanks to the trusted execution environment (TEE), it is …

Randomness is a vital resource for modern-day information processing, especially for
cryptography. A wide range of applications critically rely on abundant, high-quality random …

We introduce honey encryption (HE), a simple, general approach to encrypting messages
using low min-entropy keys such as passwords. HE is designed to produce a ciphertext …

We exhibit a hash-based storage auditing scheme which is provably secure in the random-
oracle model (ROM), but easily broken when one instead uses typical indifferentiable hash …

Encrypted databases, a popular approach to protecting data from compromised database
management systems (DBMS's), use abstract threat models that capture neither realistic …
