It is well known that excessive computational demands of public key cryptography have made its use limited especially when constrained devices are of concern. To reduce the costs of generating public key signatures one viable method is to employ a third party; the server. In open networks, getting help from a verifiable-server has an advantage over proxy-based solutions since as opposed to proxy-server, verifiable-server's cheating can be proven.

Server assisted signatures revisited
Bicakci, Kemal; Baykal, Nazife (2004-01-01)
One of the main objectives of server-assisted computation is to reduce the cost of generating public key signatures for ordinary users with their constrained devices. On the other hand, based on nothing more than a one-way function, one-time signatures provide an attractive alternative to public key signatures. This paper revisits server assisted computation for digital signatures to show server assisted one-time signature (SAOTS) that combines the benefits of these two efficiency solutions. The proposed pr...
An efficient RSA public key encryption scheme
Aboud, Sattar J.; AL-Fayoumi, Mohammad A.; Al-Fayoumi, Mustafa; Jabbar, Haidar S. (2008-04-09)
In this paper, we propose an efficient RSA public key encryption scheme, which is an improved version of original RSA scheme. The proposed RSA encryption scheme is based on linear group over the ring of integer mod a composite modulus n which is the product of two distinct prime numbers. In the proposed scheme the original message and the encrypted message are h x h square matrices with entities in z(n) indicated via l(h,z(n)). Since the original RSA Scheme is a block cipher in which the original message an...
Infinite length hash chains and their applications
Bicakci, K; Baykal, Nazife (2002-06-12)
Hash Chains are used extensively in various cryptography, applications such as one-time passwords, server-supported signatures and micropayments. In this paper, we present a method, called Infinite Length Hash Chains to improve the flexibility of this chaining idea by using public-key techniques. One of its distinguishing features is that communication and computation overhead of restarting of the system is avoided. For the owner of the chain it is possible to go in either way in the chain at any time witho...
Efficient multivariate-based ring signature schemes
Demircioğlu, Murat; Cenk, Murat; Akleylek, Sedat; Department of Cryptography (2022-8-4)
The ring signature scheme has a wide range of usage areas in public-key cryptography. One is leaking information within a group without exposing the signer's identity. The majority of the ring signature techniques in use, on the other hand, rely on classical crypto-systems such as RSA and ECDH, which are known to be vulnerable to Shor's algorithm on a large-scale quantum computer. In this thesis, we propose efficient quantum-resistant ring signature schemes based on GeMSS and Gui signature algorithms. Gui w...
Analyzes of Block Recombination and Lazy Interpolation Methods and Their Applications to Saber
Aksoy, Berkin; Cenk, Murat; Department of Cryptography (2022-2-28)
Since the beginning of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), The Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Standardization Process, efficient implementations of lattice-based algorithms have been studied extensively. Lattice-based NIST PQC finalists use polynomial or matrix-vector multiplications on the ring with type {Z}_{q}[x] / f(x). For convenient ring types, Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) can be used to perform multiplications as done in Crystals-KYBER among the finalists of the NIST PQC S...
