One-More Discrete Logarithm Problems

Speaker: Alfred Menezes
Affiliation: University of Waterloo
Room: Mathematics & Computer Building (MC) 5158

Abstract:

There are many issues that arise in interpreting reductionist proofs of security of cryptographic protocols. I will consider the case of security proofs that rely on the hardness of non-standard one-more discrete logarithm and Diffie-Hellman problems.

This is joint work with Neal Koblitz.
