      "intro_en": "Introduced in 2001, a ring signature is a type of digital signature that can be created by anyone in a group of people. In contrast to group signatures, ring signatures are ad-hoc and do not require any coordination among the users. It is originally designed as a way to leak a secret.  Since then, it has found applications as a building in other cryptographic primitives, such as optimistic fair exchange, designated verifier signatures and ad-hoc key exchange In this talk, we are going to review existing results on ring signatures and their variants. Next, we introduce Monero, one of the most popular blockchain-based crypto-currencies. In particular, we discuss how variants of ring signatures are applied in Monero to ensure its security and privacy.  We conclude the talk with some open problems related to the use of ring signatures in blockchain-based crypto-currency and some promising directions.",

      "time": "10 AM on Thursday May 9, 2017",
      "place": "F708 New Main Building",
      "intro_en": "We will introduce  a new cryptographic primitive called a Traitor Deterring Scheme (TDS) as a new generation of cryptographic technique for copyright protection. A TDS is a multi-recipient public-key encryption scheme where an authority issues decryption keys to a set of users.The distinguishing feature of a TDS is that secret-keys are issued only  after the users provide some private information as a form of collateral. The traitor deterring property ensures that if a malicious coalition of users (aka ``traitors\u0027\u0027) produces an unauthorized (aka ``pirate\u0027\u0027) decryption device, any recipient of the device will be able to recover at least one of the traitors\u0027 collaterals  with only black-box access to the device. On the other hand, honest users\u0027 collaterals are guaranteed to remain hidden.We show how bitcoin can be used as collateral for real world deployment of TDS‘s for the distribution of digital content. Along the way, we present cryptographic building blocks that may be of independent interest, namely fuzzy lockers, and comparison predicate encryption schemes for exponentially large domains.If time allowed, I may also discuss the connection of TDS to a 20-year open problem of digital signet proposed by Dwork, Lotspiech and Naor at STOC 96.",

      "place": "F708 New Main Building",
      "intro_en": "This work deals with the energy-efficient, high-speed and high-security implementation of elliptic curve scalar multiplication and elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key exchange on embedded devices using FourQ and incorporating strong countermeasures to thwart a wide variety of side-channel attacks. First, we set new speed records for constant-time elliptic curve scalar multiplication and ECDH key exchange with implementations targeting 8, 16 and 32-bit microcontrollers. For example, our software computes a static ECDH shared secret in 7.2 million cycles (or 0.9 seconds @8MHz) on a low-power 8-bit AVR microcontroller which, compared to the fastest Curve25519 and genus 2 Kummer implementations on the same platform, offers 1.9x and 1.4x speedups, respectively. Similarly, it computes the same operation in 559 thousand cycles on a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller, achieving a factor-2.5 speedup when compared to the fastest Curve25519 implementation targeting the same platform. Second, we engineer a set of side-channel countermeasures taking advantage of FourQ\u0027s rich arithmetic and propose a secure implementation that offers protection against a wide range of sophisticated side-channel attacks, including differential power analysis (DPA).Despite the use of strong countermeasures, the experimental results show that our FourQ software is still efficient enough to outperform implementations of Curve25519 that only protect against timing attacks.Finally, we perform a differential power analysis evaluation of our software running on an ARM Cortex-M4, and report that no leakage was detected with up to 100,000 traces.These results demonstrate the potential of deploying FourQ on low-power applications such as protocols for IoTs.

      "intro_en": "Energy consumption and the concomitant Green House Gas (GHG) emissions are becoming major issues in modern industrial society. In this scenario, current high performance network infrastructures (routers, switches, line cards, signal regenerators, optical amplifiers, etc.) have reached huge bandwidth capacity but their development has not been compensated at the same rate as for their energy consumption. It is estimated that such infrastructures alone consume 22 GW of electrical power corresponding to more than 1% of the worldwide electrical energy consumption, with a power consumption growth rate of 12% per year, further stressing the need for energy-efficient network devices and energy aware routing protocols and control planes. Analogously, the ever-increasing data volumes to be processed, stored, and accessed every day in modern data centers result in an energy demand growing a faster and faster pace. Data center power and cooling infrastructure worldwide waste more than 60 million MW hours per year of electricity that does no useful work powering IT equipment. This represents an enormous financial burden on industry and is a significant public policy environmental issue. Renewable energy sources are emerging as promising solution both to drastically reduce GHG emissions and to cope with the growing power requirements of these infrastructures, due to their lower energy costs. In particular, the dynamic distribution of computing and storage load in multiple data centers scattered throughout the world can be investigated in order to exploit the availability of renewable energy sources and lower their ecological footprint and contain the energy-related bills. Therefore, new energy-aware paradigms relying on smart grid infrastructure are emerging, able to either divert the network traffic on energy-efficient equipment or, analogously, to direct computing tasks or the data towards a site which is currently green powered (thus, in a follow-the-renewable energy manner), or to request to the smart grid a quantity and quality of energy (e.g., from an available renewable energy production site) for the facility (in a follow-the-data manner). Such energy-aware paradigms unveil new potentials for the ICT that have not been explored before. The main objective of this lecture is presenting the current challenges and research trends for eco-sustainable ICT infrastructures and the new energy-aware networking and computing models, protocols, architectures, techniques and paradigms that, considering power usage as a new constraint, optimize the use of energy and reduce the GHG emissions for achieving a more sustainable society that will be a basis for growth and prosperity. Also, some emerging energetic attacks to datacenters and mobile equipments are presented.",

      "time": "10 AM on Friday Jul 21, 2017",
      "place": "F708 New Main Building",
      "intro_en": "In this study, we present WindTalker, a novel and practical keystroke inference framework that allows an attacker to infer the sensitive keystrokes on a mobile device through WiFi-based side-channel information. WindTalker is motivated from the observation that keystrokes on mobile devices will lead to different hand coverage and the finger motions, which will introduce a unique interference to the multi-path signals and can be reflected by the channel state information (CSI). The adversary can exploit the strong correlation between the CSI fluctuation and the keystrokes to infer the user’s number input. WindTalker presents a novel approach to collect the target’s CSI data by deploying a public WiFi hotspot. Compared with the previous keystroke inference approach, WindTalker neither deploys external devices close to the target device nor compromises the target device. Instead, it utilizes the public WiFi to collect user’s CSI data, which is easy-to-deploy and difficult-to-detect. In addition, it jointly analyzes the traffic and the CSI to launch the keystroke inference only for the sensitive period where password entering occurs. WindTalker can be launched without the requirement of visually seeing the smart phone user’s input process, backside motion, or installing any malware on the tablet. We implemented Windtalker on several mobile phones and performed a detailed case study to evaluate the practicality of the password inference towards Alipay, the largest mobile payment platform in the world. The evaluation results show that the attacker can recover the key with a high successful rate.",
