Title: Concurrency and the Security of Protocols
Abstract:
Cryptographic protocols have been developed for a variety of tasks,
including electronic auctions, electronic voting systems, privacy
preserving data mining and more. The Internet allows for the
concurrent execution of cryptographic protocols. Such concurrency
severely challenges their security.
In this talk we introduce a novel technique for transforming any
``stand-alone'' secure protocol (i.e., one whose security is only
guaranteed if executed in isolation) into one that is secure under
concurrent executions. Contrary to previous results in the
literature, this result is established without assuming ANY
additional trust.
***The talk will be followed by refreshments in Ryerson 255***
