BIU Crypto

Generic Compiler for Publicly Verifiable Covert Multi-Party Computation, by Sebastian Faust, Carmit Hazay, David Kretzler and Benjamin Schlosser.

Mind the Middle Layer: The HADES Design Strategy Revisited, by  Nathan Keller and Asaf Rosemarin.

Continuing with the announcements, the center will have four papers in this year's Eurocrypt conference.

Towards Accountability in CRS Generation, by Prabhanjan Ananth, Gilad Asharov, Hila Dahari and Vipul Goyal.

The paper "Secure Graph Analysis at Scale", by Toshinori Araki, Jun Furukawa, Benny Pinkas, Kazuma Ohara, Hanan Rosemarin, and Hikaru Tsuchida was accepted to ACM CCS 2021 @acm_ccs. This is joint work with our collaborators from @NEC

The distributed cryptography session will include the paper "Diogenes: Lightweight Scalable RSA Modulus Generation with a Dishonest Majority", by Carmit Hazay (Bar-Ilan), M. Chen, Y. Ishai, Y. Kashnikov, D. Micciancio, T. Riviere, a. shelat, R. Wang and M. Venkitasubramaniam.

Members of our center will present two papers this week at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy @IEEESSP The network security session will include Amit Klein's paper, Cross Layer Attacks and How to Use Them (for DNS Cache Poisoning, Device Tracking and More).

All slides and videos of the first two days of our winter school on Cryptography in a Quantum World are now available at cyber.biu.ac.il/event/the-11th…

Today's morning session includes three lectures on Quantum Key Distribution, given by by Rotem Arnon-Friedman weizmann.ac.il/complex/arnon/ . The evening session will have Mark Zhandry talk on security reductions cs.princeton.edu/~mzhandry/

The first day included an overview talk by Nir BItansky and Zvika Brakerski. and a crash course on quantum computation by Henry Yuen @henryquantum. All talks are already on Youtbue.

Yesterday was the first day of our annual winter school on cryptography. The theme this year is Cryptography in a Quantum World. The lectures will be available on Youtube shortly after they are recorded. cyber.biu.ac.il/event/the-11th…

@claudiorlandi The school will be online, but we will attempt to get the best out of this format

@BIUCrypto Online I guess?

Save the date!  Our annual winter school returns on February 14-17, 2021. The topic is `Cryptography in a Quantum World’!  The organizers are Nir Bitansky, Zvika Brakerski, Carmit Hazay and Benny Pinkas. The school will be online.  Stay tuned for more details coming soon!

Additionally, to identify and track Linux and Android devices, collect TCP/IPv6 flow labels and/or UDP source port values and/or TCP/IPv4 ID fields, reconstruct the PRNG internal state and correlate this new state to previously extracted PRNG states to identify the same device.

The attack works remotely, but can also be mounted locally, across Linux users and across containers, and (depending on the stub resolver) can poison the cache with any *arbitrary* DNS record.

Amit Klein's single author paper on cross layer attacks and how to use them (for DNS cache poisoning, device tracking and more) was accepted to IEEE Security and Privacy 2021 @IEEESSP. Read all about it at arxiv.org/abs/2012.07432
