Two new papers accepted at Cryptography conferences

The IMDEA Software Institute faculty member Dario Fiore, coauthors two papers to appear at important Cryptographic conferences.

The first, together with Anca Nitulescu from ENS Paris, is accepted at the 14th Theory of Cryptography Conference (TCC 2016-B). This work, entitled “On the (In)security of SNARKs in the Presence of Oracles”, studies and sheds light on the security properties of efficient cryptographic proof systems. The work was partially done while A. Nitulescu was a research intern at IMDEA Software Institute.

The second, co-authored by IMDEA Software’s PhD student Luca Nizzardo, together with Katerina Mitrokotsa and Elena Pagnin from Chalmers University, is accepted at the 22nd Annual International Conference on the Theory and Applications of Cryptology and Information Security (ASIACRYPT 2016). This work, entitled “Multi-Key Homomorphic Authenticators”, proposes new cryptographic mechanisms that allow for certifying the correctness of data and computations.
