Summary
Leakage-Resilient and Quantum-Secure Authenticated Key Exchange Protocols. Authenticated key exchange protocols allow multiple parties to establish a common secret key over a public network, and are a central component of network security. Key-leakage and quantum attacks are two primary threats against the existing protocols. This project aims to fill the gap by developing new authenticated key exchange protocols which are secure against both attacks. The new models, theories, and techniques dev ....Leakage-Resilient and Quantum-Secure Authenticated Key Exchange Protocols. Authenticated key exchange protocols allow multiple parties to establish a common secret key over a public network, and are a central component of network security. Key-leakage and quantum attacks are two primary threats against the existing protocols. This project aims to fill the gap by developing new authenticated key exchange protocols which are secure against both attacks. The new models, theories, and techniques developed in this project will produce technologies essential for securing data communications in current and future computer networks, and hence directly contribute to improving cybersecurity for all Australians.Read moreRead less
Smart Personalized Privacy Preserved Information Sharing in Social Networks.

Scalable & Accountable Privacy-Preserving Blockchain with Enhanced Security. This project aims to address the scalability and accountability of privacy-preserving blockchain by advancing cryptographic techniques. This project expects to develop scalable protocols for privacy-preserving blockchain while also adding accountability for authority to trace cyber crime activities, which is a missing piece in any state-of-the-art public blockchain system. Expected outcomes of this project include not o ....Scalable & Accountable Privacy-Preserving Blockchain with Enhanced Security. This project aims to address the scalability and accountability of privacy-preserving blockchain by advancing cryptographic techniques. This project expects to develop scalable protocols for privacy-preserving blockchain while also adding accountability for authority to trace cyber crime activities, which is a missing piece in any state-of-the-art public blockchain system. Expected outcomes of this project include not only practical solutions for protecting sensitive data recorded in blockchain but also crucial techniques to make the blockchain accountable for practical applications with enhanced security. This project provides significant benefits, such as building a trusted environment for sensitive transactions in the digital economy.Read moreRead less
