Though not intended to be a research paper, it covers the basic aspects of how secret handshakes are done, why they&#8217;re useful, and some security weaknesses inherent in the common approaches.</p> <h1>Abstract</h1> <p>&#8220;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.&#8221;</p> <p><a href="/files/termpaper.pdf">Read the paper</a></p> Tue, 13 May 2008 16:15:00 -0700 urn:uuid:15a5c42b-36af-4ee3-ac3d-a055e20a44d9 Christopher Wojno http://christopher.wojno.com/articles/2008/05/13/secret-group-handshakes-paper Security paper secret group handshake bilinear diffie hellman
