Secret sharing is an information security technique where a dealer divides a secret into a collection of shares and distributes these to members of a group. The secret will only be revealed when a predefined number of group members cooperate to recover the secret. The purpose of this study is to investigate a method of distributing shares by embedding them into cover Quick Response (QR) codes in a secure manner using cryptographic keys. The advantage of this approach is that the shares can be disseminated over public channels, as anyone who scans the QR codes will only obtain public information. …

Dynamic Searchable Symmetric Encryption (DSSE) allows a client not only to search over ciphertexts as the traditional search- able symmetric encryption does, but also to update these ciphertexts according to requirements, e.g., adding or deleting some ciphertexts. It has been recognized as a fundamental and promising method to build secure cloud storage.


Efficient Subversion Of Symmetric Encryption With Random Initialization Vector, Joon Sang Baek, Ilsun You Jan 2016

Efficient Subversion Of Symmetric Encryption With Random Initialization Vector, Joon Sang Baek, Ilsun You

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

This paper presents an efficient subverted symmetric encryption scheme, which outputs a random initialization vector (IV). Compared with the available scheme of the same kind in the literature, our attack provides a saboteur (big brother) with much faster recovery of a key used in a victim's symmetric encryption scheme. Our result implies that care must be taken when a symmetric encryption scheme with a random IV such as randomized CBC is deployed.
