Secret Group Handshakes Paper
Posted by Christopher Wojno Tue, 13 May 2008 23:15:00 GMT
For my security class, I chose to author my extended abstract concerning secret group handshakes. Though not intended to be a research paper, it covers the basic aspects of how secret handshakes are done, why they’re useful, and some security weaknesses inherent in the common approaches.
Abstract
“Secret groups, while preserving the anonymity of the members, have a multitude of applications. Discussed here are the fundamentals of a relatively new approach to anonymity called a secret handshake and the key concepts preserving that secrecy. Following an explanation of the mechanics of two and multi-party handshakes, open problems are presented and future research directions are suggested.”
