SEG- A Provably Secure Variant of El-Gamal

Overview The Zheng-Seberry (ZS) encryption scheme was published in 1993 and was one of the first practical schemes that was considered secure against an adaptively chosen ciphertext adversary. This paper shows that the semantic security of the one-way hash variant of the ZS scheme is actually insecure against an adaptively chosen ciphertext adversary. Attempts to modify the ZS scheme resulted in a variant of El-Gamal that is provably secure against an adaptively chosen ciphertext adversary using standard public-key cryptography assumptions i.e. not the random oracle model.

Private bits - the battle to safeguard data through encryption

The original text, or 'plaintext', is converted into a coded equivalent called 'ciphertext' with an encryption algorithm. The ciphertext is then decoded (decrypted) at the receiving end and turned back into plaintext.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
