In the last decade, there has been growing interest in Vehicular Ad Hoc NETworks
(VANETs). Today car manufacturers have already started to equip vehicles with …

Group communication can benefit from IP multicast to achieve scalable exchange of
messages. However, there is a challenge of effectively controlling access to the transmitted …

The Smart Grid, generally referred to as the next-generation power system, is considered as
a revolutionary and evolutionary regime of existing power grids. More importantly, with the …

The next-generation electric power systems (smart grid) are studied intensively as a
promising solution for energy crisis. One important feature of the smart grid is the integration …

THE LEGACYFirst introduced in 1995, Cryptography: Theory and Practice garnered
enormous praise and popularity, and soon became the standard textbook for cryptography …

We introduce new theoretical measures for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of
encryption schemes designed for broadcast transmissions. The goal is to allow a central …

As mobile ad hoc network applications are deployed, security emerges as a central
requirement. In this paper, we introduce the wormhole attack, a severe attack in ad hoc …

We describe two new public key broadcast encryption systems for stateless receivers. Both
systems are fully secure against any number of colluders. In our first construction both …

We deal with the problem of a center sending a message to a group of users such that some
subset of the users is considered revoked and should not be able to obtain the content of the …

How can we authenticate broadcast messages? This chapter begins to answer our central
question. We introduce TESLA, short for Timed Efficient Stream Loss-tolerant Authentication …
