Bilinear Map Cryptography from Progressively Weaker Assumptions
Full version of an extended abstract published in Proceedings of CT-RSA 2013, Springer-Verlag, Feb. 2013. Available from the IACR Cryptology ePrint Archive as Report 2012/687. The k-BDH Assumption Family: Bilinear Map Cryptography from Progressively Weaker Assumptions Karyn Benson, Hovav Shacham ∗ Brent Watersy University of California, San Diego University of Texas at Austin fkbenson, [email protected] [email protected] February 4, 2013 Abstract Over the past decade bilinear maps have been used to build a large variety of cryptosystems. In addition to new functionality, we have concurrently seen the emergence of many strong assump- tions. In this work, we explore how to build bilinear map cryptosystems under progressively weaker assumptions. We propose k-BDH, a new family of progressively weaker assumptions that generalizes the de- cisional bilinear Diffie-Hellman (DBDH) assumption. We give evidence in the generic group model that each assumption in our family is strictly weaker than the assumptions before it. DBDH has been used for proving many schemes secure, notably identity-based and functional encryption schemes; we expect that our k-BDH will lead to generalizations of many such schemes. To illustrate the usefulness of our k-BDH family, we construct a family of selectively secure Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) systems based on it. Our system can be viewed as a generalization of the Boneh-Boyen IBE, however, the construction and proof require new ideas to fit the family. We then extend our methods to produces hierarchical IBEs and CCA security; and give a fully secure variant. In addition, we discuss the opportunities and challenges of building new systems under our weaker assumption family. -

Certificate-based encryption (CBE) combines traditional public-key encryption and certificateless encryption. However, it does suffer to the Denial of Decryption (DoD) attack called by Liu and Au. To capture this attack, they introduced a new paradigm called self-generated-certificate public key cryptog- raphy. In this paper we show that the problem of DoD attack can be solved with a new implicit and explicit certificates-based public key cryptography paradigm. -
Public Auditing for Secure and Efficient Cloud Data Storage: a Comprehensive Survey
Vol-7 Issue-4 2021 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 Public Auditing for Secure and Efficient Cloud Data Storage: A Comprehensive Survey 1Ayesha Siddiqha Mukthar, 2Dr. Jitendra Sheetlani 1Research Scholar, Sri Satya Sai University of Technology and Medical Sciences, Sehore 2Associate Professor, Sri Satya Sai University of Technology and Medical Sciences, Sehore Abstract: Nowadays storage of data is big problem because the huge generation of multimedia data likes images, audio, video etc. whose size is very large. For storing of these data size of conventional storage is not sufficient so we need remote storage such as cloud which is resilient infrastructure, reliable and high quality performance for the cloud users. In the cloud there is no direct physical control over the records because the cloud uses its resource pool for storing. Consequently data reliability fortification and auditing is not a modest task. The user prerequisites to depend on a Third Party Auditor (TPA) who is working as a public auditor for authenticating the data integrity and privacy. This paper presents the various auditing techniques of cloud computing for improving security and then future research challenges which need to be adopt by researchers to make system obvious. Keywords: Auditing, Cloud Computing, Storage, TPA, Reliability, Integrity. Introduction: Cloud is offering the different services to its users. Data sharing between two organizations which common in many application areas. The current data sharing and integration among various organizations requires the central and trusted authority to collect data from all data sources and then integrate the collected data. In current trend, there is necessary condition which defines the data sharing while preserving privacy in cloud. -
Implementation and Performance Evaluation of XTR Over Wireless Network
Implementation and Performance Evaluation of XTR over Wireless Network By Basem Shihada [email protected] Dept. of Computer Science 200 University Avenue West Waterloo, Ontario, Canada (519) 888-4567 ext. 6238 CS 887 Final Project 19th of April 2002 Implementation and Performance Evaluation of XTR over Wireless Network 1. Abstract Wireless systems require reliable data transmission, large bandwidth and maximum data security. Most current implementations of wireless security algorithms perform lots of operations on the wireless device. This result in a large number of computation overhead, thus reducing the device performance. Furthermore, many current implementations do not provide a fast level of security measures such as client authentication, authorization, data validation and data encryption. XTR is an abbreviation of Efficient and Compact Subgroup Trace Representation (ECSTR). Developed by Arjen Lenstra & Eric Verheul and considered a new public key cryptographic security system that merges high level of security GF(p6) with less number of computation GF(p2). The claim here is that XTR has less communication requirements, and significant computation advantages, which indicate that XTR is suitable for the small computing devices such as, wireless devices, wireless internet, and general wireless applications. The hoping result is a more flexible and powerful secure wireless network that can be easily used for application deployment. This project presents an implementation and performance evaluation to XTR public key cryptographic system over wireless network. The goal of this project is to develop an efficient and portable secure wireless network, which perform a variety of wireless applications in a secure manner. The project literately surveys XTR mathematical and theoretical background as well as system implementation and deployment over wireless network. -
Towards a Hybrid Public Key Infrastructure (PKI): a Review
Towards a Hybrid Public Key Infrastructure (PKI): A Review Priyadarshi Singh, Abdul Basit, N Chaitanya Kumar, and V. Ch. Venkaiah School of Computer and Information Sciences, University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad-500046, India Abstract. Traditional Certificate- based public key infrastructure (PKI) suffers from the problem of certificate overhead like its storage, verification, revocation etc. To overcome these problems, idea of certificate less identity-based public key cryptography (ID-PKC) was proposed by Shamir. This is suitable for closed trusted group only. Also, this concept has some inherent problems like key escrow problem, secure key channel problem, identity management overhead etc. Later on, there had been several works which tried to combine both the cryptographic techniques such that the resulting hybrid PKI framework is built upon the best features of both the cryptographic techniques. It had been shown that this approach solves many problems associated with an individual cryptosystem. In this paper, we have reviewed and compared such hybrid schemes which tried to combine both the certificate based PKC and ID-based PKC. Also, the summary of the comparison, based on various features, is presented in a table. Keywords: Certificate-based PKI; Identity-based public key cryptography (ID-PKC); Hybrid PKI 1 INTRODUCTION Public key infrastructure (PKI) and public key cryptography (PKC) [12] plays a vital role with four major components of digital security: authentication, integrity, confidentiality and non-repudiation. Infact, PKI enables the use of PKC through key management. The ”efficient and secure management of the key pairs during their whole life cycle" is the purpose of PKI, which involves key generation, key distribution, key renewal, key revocation etc [11]. -

PUF Based Authentication Protocol for Iot
S S symmetry Article PUF Based Authentication Protocol for IoT An Braeken Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Pleinlaan 2, 1050 Brussel, Belgium; [email protected]; Tel.: +32-468-104-767 Received: 11 July 2018; Accepted: 11 August 2018; Published: 20 August 2018 Abstract: Key agreement between two constrained Internet of Things (IoT) devices that have not met each other is an essential feature to provide in order to establish trust among its users. Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) on a device represent a low cost primitive exploiting the unique random patterns in the device and have been already applied in a multitude of applications for secure key generation and key agreement in order to avoid an attacker to take over the identity of a tampered device, whose key material has been extracted. This paper shows that the key agreement scheme of a recently proposed PUF based protocol, presented by Chatterjee et al., for Internet of Things (IoT) is vulnerable for man-in-the-middle, impersonation, and replay attacks in the Yao–Dolev security model. We propose an alternative scheme, which is able to solve these issues and can provide in addition a more efficient key agreement and subsequently a communication phase between two IoT devices connected to the same authentication server. The scheme also offers identity based authentication and repudiation, when only using elliptic curve multiplications and additions, instead of the compute intensive pairing operations. Keywords: physical unclonable function; authentication; elliptic curve cryptography; internet of things 1. Introduction Internet of Things (IoT) is experiencing worldwide growth. Not only classical computing and communication devices are connected, but also a whole range of other gadgets that are used in our daily life, such as thermostats, light switches, door locks, refrigerators, etc. -

Xavier Boyen Approved for the University Committee on Graduate Studies. iii Abstract Pairing-based cryptography has become a highly active research area. We define bilinear maps, or pairings, and show how they give rise to cryptosystems with new functionality. There is only one known mathematical setting where desirable pairings exist: hyperellip- tic curves. We focus on elliptic curves, which are the simplest case, and also the only curves used in practice. All existing implementations of pairing-based cryptosystems are built with elliptic curves. Accordingly, we provide a brief overview of elliptic curves, and functions known as the Tate and Weil pairings from which cryptographic pairings are derived. We describe several methods for obtaining curves that yield Tate and Weil pairings that are efficiently computable yet are still cryptographically secure. -

The first attack presents a counterexample to The acute problem with the Diffie-Hellman key agreement invalidate the basic authentication in HMQV. The second attack is that it is unauthenticated [2].

The Whole is Less than the Sum of its Parts: Constructing More Efficient Lattice-Based AKEs? Rafael del Pino1;2;3, Vadim Lyubashevsky4, and David Pointcheval3;2;1 1 INRIA, Paris 2 Ecole´ Normale Sup´erieure,Paris 3 CNRS 4 IBM Research Zurich Abstract. Authenticated Key Exchange (AKE) is the backbone of internet security protocols such as TLS and IKE. A recent announcement by standardization bodies calling for a shift to quantum-resilient crypto has resulted in several AKE proposals from the research community. Be- cause AKE can be generically constructed by combining a digital signature scheme with public key encryption (or a KEM), most of these proposals focused on optimizing the known KEMs and left the authentication part to the generic combination with digital signatures.
