												  Course 5 Lesson 2This material is based on work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 0802551 Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author (s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation C5L3S1 With the advent of the Internet, social networking, and open communication, a vast amount of information is readily available on the Internet for anyone to access. Despite this trend, computer users need to ensure private or personal communications remain confidential and are viewed only by the intended party. Private information such as a social security numbers, school transcripts, medical histories, tax records, banking, and legal documents should be secure when transmitted online or stored locally. One way to keep data confidential is to encrypt it. Militaries,U the governments, industries, and any organization having a desire to maintain privacy have used encryption techniques to secure information. Encryption helps to boost confidence in the security of online commerce and is necessary for secure transactions. In this lesson, you will review encryption and examine several tools used to encrypt data. You will also learn to encrypt and decrypt data. Anyone who desires to administer computer networks and work with private data must have some familiarity with basic encryption protocols and techniques. C5L3S2 You should know what will be expected of you when you complete this lesson. These expectations are presented as objectives. Objectives are short statements of expectations that tell you what you must be able to do, perform, learn, or adjust after reviewing the lesson.

												  Chapter 12 Pretty Good Privacy (PGP)Chapter 12 Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) With the explosively growing reliance on electronic mail for every conceivable pur- pose, there grows a demand for authentication and confidentiality services. Two schemes stand out as approaches that enjoy widespread use: Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME). The latter is a security en- hancement to the MIME Internet e-mail format standard, based on technology from RSA Data Security. Although both PGP and S/MIME are on an IETF standards track, it appears likely that S/MIME will emerge as the industry standard for commercial and organisational use, while PGP will remain the choice for personal e-mail security for many users. In this course we will only be looking at PGP. S/MIME is discussed in detail in the recommended text. 12.1 Background PGP is a remarkable phenomenon. Largely the effort of a single person, Phil Zimmer- mann, PGP provides a confidentiality and authentication service that can be used for electronic mail and file storage applications. In essence what Zimmermann has done is the following: 1. Selected the best cryptographic mechanisms (algorithms) as building blocks. 2. Integrated these algorithms into a general purpose application that is independent of operating system and processor and that is based on a small set of easy to use commands. 3. Made the package and its source code freely available via the Internet, bulletin boards, and commercial networks such as America On Line (AOL). 4. Entered into an agreement with a company (Viacrypt, now Network Associates) to provide a fully compatible low cost commercial version of PGP.

												  Can We Trust Cryptographic Software? Cryptographic Flaws in GNU Privacy Guard V1.2.3Can We Trust Cryptographic Software? Cryptographic Flaws in GNU Privacy Guard v1.2.3 Phong Q. Nguyen CNRS/Ecole´ normale sup´erieure D´epartement d’informatique 45 rue d’Ulm, 75230 Paris Cedex 05, France. [email protected] http://www.di.ens.fr/˜pnguyen Abstract. More and more software use cryptography. But how can one know if what is implemented is good cryptography? For proprietary soft- ware, one cannot say much unless one proceeds to reverse-engineering, and history tends to show that bad cryptography is much more frequent than good cryptography there. Open source software thus sounds like a good solution, but the fact that a source code can be read does not imply that it is actually read, especially by cryptography experts. In this paper, we illustrate this point by examining the case of a basic In- ternet application of cryptography: secure email. We analyze parts of thesourcecodeofthelatestversionofGNUPrivacyGuard(GnuPGor GPG), a free open source alternative to the famous PGP software, com- pliant with the OpenPGP standard, and included in most GNU/Linux distributions such as Debian, MandrakeSoft, Red Hat and SuSE. We ob- serve several cryptographic flaws in GPG v1.2.3. The most serious flaw has been present in GPG for almost four years: we show that as soon as one (GPG-generated) ElGamal signature of an arbitrary message is released, one can recover the signer’s private key in less than a second on a PC. As a consequence, ElGamal signatures and the so-called ElGamal sign+encrypt keys have recently been removed from GPG.

												  Analysis of an Encrypted HDDAnalysis of an encrypted HDD J. Czarny, R. Rigo May 11, 2015 Abstract The idea of this presentation is to debunk the myth that analyzing the security of hardware is difficult. From the perspective of a software reverse engineer we present the process of studying a hardware-encrypted, PIN secured, external hard drive: the Zalman VE-400. While the end result of the analysis and attack is not a full success as it was not possible to recover an encrypted drive, it shows that the drive is nevertheless vulnerable by design. 1 Introduction 1.1 The target Analysing the security of hardware products seems to scare software reversers and hackers. It used to scare us. But, fortunately, today there is no need to know much about electronics, as most products are just System on Chip (SoC), a single integrated circuit with IO and a CPU or microcontroller. All that is needed is a bit of soldering ability, a multimeter, some useful pieces of hardware and a brain. The subject here is not embedded systems in the now common sense of “small hardware running Linux” but smaller systems using one or two chips. Most interesting for software hackers are encrypted HDD/USB keys: their functionnality is conceptually simple and they provide an interesting target. We will focus on the Zalman VE-400 encrypted drive, a consumer enclosure for 2.5" SATA hard drives which supports hardware encryption. It also supports advanced features like mounting ISO files as virtual optical drives. To do so, the user must choose between the ExFAT and NTFS filesystem support, by reflashing the correct firmware.

												  Nouveau Mode Opératoire Pour La Cryptographie *Nouveau Mode Opératoire pour la Cryptographie * Naima Hadj-Said*, Adda Ali-Pacha, Mohamed Sadek Ali-Pacha – Aek Haouas *Laboratoire SIMPA (Signal-Image-Parole) Université des Sciences et de la Technologie d’Oran USTO , BP 1505 El M’Naouer Oran 31036 Algerie [email protected] Résumé : Un mode opératoire consiste en la description détaillée des actions nécessaires à l'obtention d'un résultat. Il décrit généralement le déroulement détaillé des opérations effectuées sur un poste fixe, mais il peut également décrire l'enchaînement des opérations de poste à poste. Un mode opératoire décrivant les enchaînements opératoires de poste à poste permet de définir : -l'ensemble des postes de travail concernés par la réalisation d'un produit, d'une pièce élémentaire, - les temps de passage prévus (alloués) à chaque poste, -l'ordre logique d'intervention de chaque poste (machine, ou poste manuel), -les conditions d'enchaînement, de déclenchement, des opérations successives, -les moyens de transfert de poste à poste. En cryptographie, un mode d'opération est la manière de traiter les blocs de texte clairs et chiffrés au sein d'un algorithme de chiffrement par bloc ou bien c’est la présentation d’une méthode de chaînage des blocs dans un chiffrement par blocs. Plusieurs modes existent possédant leur propre atout, certains sont plus vulnérables que d'autres et certains modes combinent les concepts d'authentification et sécurité. Dans ce travail on essaie de faire la synthèse des modes opératoires des systèmes cryptographique et de proposer une bonne alternative pour faire le bon choix du vecteur d'initialisation de ces modes, avec la suggestion d’un nouveau mode opératoire qu’on a appelé : mode Autonome Secure blocK (ASK).
