The IT security group is offering a Project Group (PG) about Forward-Secure 0-RTT protocols, starting in Summer 2018. Such 0-RTT protocols are currently a hot topic in research and industry, many Internet global players are extremely interested in these techniques due to strong security properties at low latency costs. The PG will be presented on Monday, January 29th, at the PG event of our faculty. If you have further questions or are…

Tibor Jager joins the program committee of the 4th Conference on Security Standards Research, which will be held in Darmstadt in December 2018. The purpose of this conference is to discuss the many research problems deriving from studies of existing standards, the development of revisions to existing standards, and the exploration of completely new areas of standardisation.

The research paper "Bloom Filter Encryption and Applications to Efficient Forward-Secret 0-RTT Key Exchange" by David Derler (Graz University of Technology), Tibor Jager (Paderborn University, IT Security Group), Daniel Slamanig and Christoph Striecks (both AIT Austrian Institute of Technology), was accepted to the 37th Annual International Conference on the Theory and Applications of Cryptographic Techniques (EUROCRYPT 2018).
