• On dynamic distribution of private keys over MANETs

  Daza, Vanesa; Morillo, Paz; Ràfols, Carla (Elsevier, 2007)

  Identity-Based cryptography has been proposed in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) to provide security. However, the figure of the Private Key Generator (PKG) is not adequate in the MANET setting, since it may not be ...
• 'Ad-hoc' threshold broadcast encryption with shorter ciphertexts

  Daza, Vanesa; Herranz, Javier; Morillo, Paz; Ràfols, Carla (Elsevier, 2008)

  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 plaintext ...
• Relations between semantic security and anonymity in identity-based encryption

  Herranz, Javier; Laguillaumie, Fabien; Ràfols, Carla (Elsevier, 2011)

  Semantic security and anonymity are the two main properties that an identity-based encryption scheme can satisfy. Such properties can be de ned in either an adaptive or a selective scenario, which di er on the moment ...
• Attribute-based encryption schemes with constant-size ciphertexts

  Attrapadung, Nuttapong; Herranz, Javier; Laguillaumie, Fabien; Libert, Benoît; De Panafieu, Elie; Ràfols, Carla (Elsevier, 2012)

  Attribute-based encryption (ABE), as introduced by Sahai and Waters, allows for fine- grained access control on encrypted data. In its key-policy flavor (the dual ciphertext-policy scenario proceeds the other way around), ...
• An intelligent interface for drum pattern variation and comparative evaluation of algorithms

  Vogl, Richard; Leimeister, Matthias; Nuanáin, Carthach Ó; Hlatky, Michael; Jordà Puig, Sergi; Knees, Peter (Audio Engineering Society, 2016)

  Drum tracks of electronic dance music pieces are a central and style-defining element. Yet,creating them can be a cumbersome task, mostly due to lack of appropriate tools and inputdevices. In this work we use a UI prototype ...
• Early positivity signals changes in an abstract linguistic pattern

  Monte Ordoño, Julia, 1989-; Toro Soto, Juan Manuel, 1976- (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017)

• Early neural responses underlie advantages for consonance over dissonance

  Crespo Bojorque, Paola, 1985-; Monte Ordoño, Julia, 1989-; Toro Soto, Juan Manuel, 1976- (Elsevier, 2018)
