Description
Intrusion-resilient signatures are key-evolving protocols that extend the concepts of forward-secure and key-insulated signatures. As in the latter schemes, time is divided into distinct periods where private keys are periodically updated while public keys remain fixed. Private keys are stored in both a user and a base; signature operations are performed by the user while the base is involved in periodic updates. Such a system remains secure after arbitrarily many compromises of both modules as long as break-ins are not simultaneous. Besides, when they simultaneously occur within some time period, past periods remain safe. In this work, we propose the first intrusion-resilient signature in the standard model (i.e. without random oracles) which provides both constant-size (short) signatures and at most log-squared private storage in the number of time periods.

CryptoVerif: a computationally-sound security protocol verifier
Speaker : Bruno Blanchet - Inria
CryptoVerif is a security protocol verifier sound in the computational model of cryptography. It produces proofs by sequences of games, like those done manually by cryptographers. It has an automatic proof strategy and can also be guided by the user. It provides a generic method for specifying security assumptions on many cryptographic primitives, and can prove secrecy, authentication, and[…]-
