Implementations of cryptographic algorithms continue to proliferate in consumer products
due to the increasing demand for secure transmission of confidential information. Although …

Recent progress on NFS imposed a new estimation of the security of pairings. In this work
we study the best attacks against some of the most popular pairings and propose new key …

In this paper we perform a review of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) as it is used in
practice today in order to reveal unique mistakes and vulnerabilities that arise in …

Censorship-circumvention tools are in an arms race against censors. The censors study all
traffic passing into and out of their controlled sphere, and try to disable censorship …

Hardware designers invest a significant design effort when implementing computationally
intensive cryptographic algorithms onto constrained embedded devices to match the …

Implementations of cryptographic primitives are vulnerable to physical attacks. While the
adversary only needs to succeed in one out of many attack methods, the designers have to …

Embedded software is developed under the assumption that hardware execution is always
correct. Fault attacks break and exploit that assumption. Through the careful introduction of …

Unprotected implementations of cryptographic primitives are vulnerable to physical attacks.
While the adversary only needs to succeed in one out of many attack methods, the …

For a secure hardware designer, the vast array of fault attacks and countermeasures looks
like a jungle. This paper aims at providing a guide through this jungle and at hel** a …
