Abstract

Secret handshakes offer anonymous and unobservable authentication and serve as an important tool in the arsenal of privacy-preserving techniques. Prior research focused on 2-party secret handshakes with one-time credentials. This paper breaks new ground on two accounts: (1) we obtain secure and efficient secret handshakes with reusable credentials, and (2) we provide the first treatment of multi-party secret handshakes.
