• CCA2-secure threshold broadcast encryption with shorter ciphertexts

  Daza, Vanesa; Herranz, Javier; Morillo, Paz; Ràfols, Carla (Springer, 2007)

  In a threshold broadcast encryption scheme, a sender chooses (ad-hoc) a set of n receivers and a threshold t, and then encrypts a message by using the public keys of all the receivers, in such a way that the original ...
• The Security of all bits using list decoding

  Morillo, Paz; Ràfols, Carla (Springer, 2009)

  The relation between list decoding and hard-core predicates has provided a clean and easy methodology to prove the hardness of certain predicates. So far this methodology has only been used to prove that the O(log logN) ...
• Constant size ciphertexts in threshold attribute-based encryption

  Herranz, Javier; Laguillaumie, Fabien; Ràfols, Carla (Springer, 2010)

  Attribute-based cryptography has emerged in the last years as a promising primitive for digital security. For instance, it provides good solutions to the problem of anonymous access control. In a ciphertext- policy ...
• Short attribute-based signatures for threshold predicates

  Herranz, Javier; Laguillaumie, Fabien; Libert, Benoît; Ràfols, Carla (Springer, 2012)

  Attribute-based cryptography is a natural solution for fine- grained access control with respect to security policies. In the case of attribute-based signatures (ABS), users obtain from an authority their secret keys ...
• An algebraic framework for Diffie-Hellman assumptions

  Escala, Alex; Herold, Gottfried; Kiltz, Eike; Ràfols, Carla; Villar, Jorge (Springer, 2013)

  We put forward a new algebraic framework to generalize and analyze Di_e-Hellman like Decisional Assumptions which allows us to argue about security and applications by considering only algebraic properties. Our D`;k-MDDH ...
• Identification of potential Music Information Retrieval technologies for computer-aided jingju singing training

  Gong, Rong; Serra, Xavier (2017)

  Music Information Retrieval (MIR) technologies have been proven useful in assisting western classical singing training. Jingju (also known as Beijing or Peking opera) singing is different from western singing in terms ...
• Polynomial spaces: a new framework for composite to-prime-order transformations

  Herold, Gottfried; Hesse, Julia; Hofheinz, Dennis; Ràfols, Carla; Rupp, Andy (Springer, 2014)

  At Eurocrypt 2010, Freeman presented a framework to convert cryptosystems based on composite-order groups into ones that use prime-order groups. Such a transformation is interesting not only from a conceptual point of ...
• Identity-based lossy trapdoor functions: new definitions, hierarchical extensions, and implications

  Escala, Alex; Herranz, Javier; Libert, Benoît; Ràfols, Carla (Springer, 2014)

  Lossy trapdoor functions, introduced by Peikert and Waters (STOC’08), have received a lot of attention in the last years, because of their wide range of applications. The notion has been recently extended to the ...
• Stretching Groth-Sahai: NIZK proofs of partial satisfiability

  Ràfols, Carla (Springer, 2015)

  Groth, Ostrovsky and Sahai constructed a non-interactive Zap for NP-languages by observing that the common reference string of their proof system for circuit satisfiability admits what they call correlated key generation. ...
• QA-NIZK arguments in asymmetric groups: new tools and new constructions

  González, Alonso; Hevia, Alejandro; Ràfols, Carla (Springer, 2015)

  A sequence of recent works have constructed constant-size quasi-adaptive (QA) NIZK arguments of membership in linear subspaces of ^Gm, where ^G is a group equipped with a bilinear map e : G x H --> T. Although applicable ...
• The Kernel Matrix Diffie-Hellman assumption

  Morillo, Paz; Ràfols, Carla; Villar, Jorge L. (Springer, 2016)

  We put forward a new family of computational assumptions, the Kernel Matrix Diffi-Hellman Assumption. Given some matrix A sampled from some distribution D, the kernel assumption says that it is hard to find \in the ...
• Data augmentation for instrument classification robust to audio effects

  Ramires, António; Serra, Xavier (2019)

  Reusing recorded sounds (sampling) is a key component in Electronic Music Production (EMP), which has been present since its early days and is at the core of genres like hip-hop or jungle. Commercial and non-commercial ...
