> 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***
