• 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 ...
