But often we designers find ourselves striving to build totally secure systems and protocols -- in effect writing the bad guys entirely out of the equation. In a large system, when you exclude the bad guys, they soon muscle their way in elsewhere, and maybe in a new and worse way over which you may have much less control. A crypto protocol with no known weaknesses may be a strong tool, but when it does break, it will break in an unpredictable way. This talk explores the hypothesis that it is safer and better for designers to give the bad guys their cut, but to keep it small, and keep in control. It may not just be our systems but also our protocol building blocks that should be designed to make room for the bad guy to take his cut. The talk is illustrated with examples of very successful systems with known weaknesses, drawn primarily from the European EMV payment system, and banking security in general. We also discuss a few "too secure" systems that end up failing in worse ways as a result. 10:00am-10:30am Break 10:30am-12:00pm Technical Paper Session Payment Systems Vulnerabilities in First-Generation RFID-enabled Credit Cards, Thomas S.

Recognizing that changing user context often requires different security mechanisms, we discuss end-to-end solutions combining several security and context mechanisms for relevant security control and information presentation in various mobile user situations. We illustrate key concepts using Dimitri Kanevsky's (IBM Research) early 2000s patented inventions for voice security and classification. 10:00am-10:30am Break 10:30am-11:00am System paper session The Motorola Personal Digital Right Manager, Siddharth Bhatt (Stony Brook University, USA), Carbunar Bogdan (Motorola Labs), Radu Sion (Stony Brook University, USA), and Venu Vasudevan (Motorola Labs) 11:00am-12:00pm Technical Paper Session Cryptography Certificate Revocation using Fine Grained Certificate Space Partitioning, Vipul Goyal (UCLA, USA) An Efficient Aggregate Shuffle Argument Scheme, Jun Furukawa (NEC Corporation, Japan) and Hideki Imai (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan) 12:00pm-1:00pm Conference closing/Lunch, Conference Chairs _______________________________________________ fc-announce mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.ifca.ai/mailman/listinfo/fc-announce ---------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
