WG 3: Cryptographic Aspects of Network Codes
Chair: Simon Blackburn
Work programme
The security of network coding is a vitally important issue. It is closely interrelated, but is separate from, the issues surrounding efficient and reliable network coding. In fact, the design of a secure network coding scheme is a challenge of new nature, with the presence of the intermediate nodes leading to wiretap attacks or pollution attacks that are not considered in most standard cryptographic security models. During recent years, solutions have been proposed based on homomorphic hashing and homomorphic signatures. The work on this aspect of the project spans theoretical computer science and mathematics, with techniques from areas such as public key cryptography, protocol design, and secret sharing being relevant.
