Building Secure ASP.NET Applications: Authentication, Authorization, and Secure Communication

This guide presents a practical, scenario driven approach to designing and building secure ASP.NET applications for Windows 2000 and version 1.0 of the .NET Framework. It focuses on the key elements of authentication, authorization, and secure communication within and across the tiers of distributed .NET Web applications.

Handbook of Applied Cryptography

This book is intended as a reference for professional cryptographers, presenting the techniques and algorithms of greatest interest to the current practitioner, along with the supporting motivation and background material. It also provides a comprehensive source from which to learn cryptography, serving both students and instructors. In addition, the rigorous treatment, breadth, and extensive bibliographic material should make it an important reference for research professionals.

Security Analysis of a Cryptographically-Enabled RFID Device

We describe our success in defeating the security of an RFID device known as a Digital Signature Transponder (DST). Manufactured by Texas Instruments, DST (and variant) devices help secure millions of SpeedPassTM payment transponders and automobile ignition keys.

Understanding Data Lifetime via Whole System Simulation

Strictly limiting the lifetime (i.e. propagation and duration of exposure) of sensitive data (e.g. passwords) is an important and well accepted practice in secure software development. Unfortunately, there are no current methods available for easily analyzing data lifetime, and very little information available on the quality of today's software with respect to data lifetime

Fairplay—A Secure Two-Party Computation System

Advances in modern cryptography coupled with rapid growth in processing and communication speeds make secure two-party computation a realistic paradigm. Yet, thus far, interest in this paradigm has remained mostly theoretical.

Listen and Whisper: Security Mechanisms for BGP

The Internet is a collection of autonomous systems (AS's), numbering more than 14,000 in a recent count. The inter-domain routing protocol, BGP, knits these autonomous systems together into a coherent whole
