(Strong) Multi-Designated Verifiers Signatures Secure Against Rogue Key Attack, Yunmei Zhang, Man Ho Allen Au, Guomin Yang, Willy Susilo Mar 2014

(Strong) Multi-Designated Verifiers Signatures Secure Against Rogue Key Attack, Yunmei Zhang, Man Ho Allen Au, Guomin Yang, Willy Susilo

Professor Willy Susilo

Designated verifier signatures (DVS) allow a signer to create a signature whose validity can only be verified by a specific entity chosen by the signer. In addition, the chosen entity, known as the designated verifier, cannot convince any body that the signature is created by the signer. Multi-designated verifiers signatures (MDVS) are a natural extension of DVS in which the signer can choose multiple designated verifiers. DVS and MDVS are useful primitives in electronic voting and contract signing. In this paper, we investigate various aspects of MDVS and make two contributions. Firstly, we revisit the notion of unforgeability under rogue …


Public Key Encryption With Keyword Search Secure Against Keyword Guessing Attacks Without Random Oracle, Liming Fang, Willy Susilo, Chunpeng Ge, Jiandong Wang Mar 2014

Public Key Encryption With Keyword Search Secure Against Keyword Guessing Attacks Without Random Oracle, Liming Fang, Willy Susilo, Chunpeng Ge, Jiandong Wang

Professor Willy Susilo

The notion of public key encryption with keyword search (PEKS) was put forth by Boneh et al. to enable a server to search from a collection of encrypted emails given a “trapdoor” (i.e., an encrypted keyword) provided by the receiver. The nice property in this scheme allows the server to search for a keyword, given the trapdoor. Hence, the verifier can merely use an untrusted server, which makes this notion very practical. Following Boneh et al.’s work, there have been subsequent works that have been proposed to enhance this notion. Two important notions include the so-called keyword guessing attack and …


Securing Dsr Against Wormhole Attacks In Multirate Ad Hoc Networks, Shams Qazi, Raad Raad, Yi Mu, Willy Susilo Oct 2013

Securing Dsr Against Wormhole Attacks In Multirate Ad Hoc Networks, Shams Qazi, Raad Raad, Yi Mu, Willy Susilo

Dr Raad Raad

A wormhole attack is one of the hardest problems to detect whereas it can be easily implanted in any type of wireless ad hoc network. A wormhole attack can easily be launched by the attacker without having knowledge of the network or compromising any legitimate nodes. Most existing solutions either require special hardware devices or make strong assumptions in order to detect wormhole attacks which limit the usability of these solutions. In this paper, we present a security enhancement to dynamic source routing (DSR) protocol against wormhole attacks for ad hoc networks which relies on calculation of round trip time …
