To provide the necessary direction for readiness planning, training and execution of National Headquarters Mobilization (NHQ) time-phased response procedures. B. Scope. This RP provides assumptions and guidance for operation of the SSS upon mobilization. Supplemental modules to this plan will reference specific Agency manuals, processes, and operating procedures, as well as field plans to provide personnel with comprehensive and functional knowledge of the Agency mobilization process. Standard terminology used in this plan is at Annex A. C. World Situation. Based upon a threat to the national security of the United States, the President would seek a Congressional authorization to induct personnel into the Armed Forces. Upon authorization, the Selective Service System (SSS) would commence mobilization to provide trained and/or untrained personnel for induction into the Armed Forces. Additionally, it will operate an Alternative Service Program (ASP) for those individuals classified as conscientious objectors. D. Agency Elements. During peacetime, the SSS consists of full-time National and Region Headquarters staffs and a part-time or inactive structure of State Directors, Selective Service Reserve and National Guard Detachments, and standby Local Boards (LB), and Appeal Boards. Upon mobilization, LBs, Appeal Boards, State Headquarters (SHQ), Alternative Service Offices (ASO), and Area Offices (AO) are activated and fully staffed. During activation, the SSS interacts with Federal, military, and civilian organizations. E. General. (1) State Directors and SSS Reserve Force Officers (RFOs) will be called to active service following the authorized return to induction, with instructions to proceed to their pre-designated locations and begin operations. (2) Administrative actions, which may be required to support entry of RFOs on active duty, will be accomplished prior to these individuals reporting to their pre-designated locations. RP 1 APRIL 2009 (3) The Department of the Army (DA) will provide Area Office Augmentees (AOAs), as outlined in the SSS/Department

  • Hash Functions from Sigma Protocols and Improvements to VSH
    Hash Functions from Sigma Protocols and Improvements to VSH Mihir Bellare and Todor Ristov Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of California San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093-0404, USA. URL: www-cse.ucsd.edu/users/mihir, www-cse.ucsd.edu/users/tristov Abstract. We present a general way to get a provably collision-resistant hash function from any (suitable) Σ-protocol. This enables us to both get new designs and to unify and improve previous work. In the first category, we obtain, via a modified version of the Fiat-Shamir proto- col, the fastest known hash function that is provably collision-resistant based on the standard factoring assumption. In the second category, we provide a modified version VSH* of VSH which is faster when hash- ing short messages. (Most Internet packets are short.) We also show that Σ-hash functions are chameleon, thereby obtaining several new and efficient chameleon hash functions with applications to on-line/off-line signing, chameleon signatures and designated-verifier signatures. 1 Introduction The failure of popular hash functions MD5 and SHA-1 [42, 43] lends an impetus to the search for new ones. The contention of our paper is that there will be a \niche" market for proven-secure even if not-so-fast hash functions. Towards this we provide a general paradigm that yields hash functions provably secure under number-theoretic assumptions, and also unifies, clarifies and improves previous constructs. Our hash functions have extra features such as being chameleon [25]. Let us now look at all this in more detail.

  • SSS-V2: Secure Similarity Search Hyun-A Park
    1 SSS-V2: Secure Similarity Search Hyun-A Park Abstract—Encrypting information has been regarded as one of the most substantial approaches to protect users’ sensitive information in radically changing internet technology era. In prior research, researchers have considered similarity search over encrypted documents infeasible, because the single-bit difference of a plaintext would result in an enormous bits difference in the corresponding ciphertext. However, we propose a novel idea of Security Similarity Search (SSS) over encrypted documents by applying character-wise encryption with approximate string matching to keyword index search systems. In order to do this, we define the security requirements of similarity search over encrypted data, propose two similarity search schemes, and formally prove the security of the schemes. The first scheme is more efficient, while the second scheme achieves perfect similarity search privacy. Surprisingly, the second scheme turns out to be faster than other keyword index search schemes with keyword- wise encryption, while enjoying the same level of security. The schemes of SSS support “like query(‘ab%’)” and a query with misprints in that the character-wise encryption preserves the degree of similarity between two plaintexts, and renders approximate string matching between the corresponding ciphertexts possible without decryption. Index Terms—keyword index search, encrypted data, similarity search, character-wise encryption, approximate string matching, hamming distance F 1 INTRODUCTION approximate string matching test. However, simple character-wise N the rapidly developing internet technology era, the amount of encryption is vulnerable to a dictionary attack because the domain I sensitive information radically increases and the information is is too small.

  • Chosen-Ciphertext Attacks Against MOSQUITO
    Chosen-Ciphertext Attacks against MOSQUITO Antoine Joux1,3 and Fr´ed´eric Muller2 1 DGA 2 HSBC-France [email protected] 3 Universit´ede Versailles-Saint-Quentin, France [email protected] Abstract. Self-Synchronizing Stream Ciphers (SSSC) are a particular class of symmetric encryption algorithms, such that the resynchroniza- tion is automatic, in case of error during the transmission of the cipher- text. In this paper, we extend the scope of chosen-ciphertext attacks against SSSC. Previous work in this area include the cryptanalysis of dedi- cated constructions, like KNOT, HBB or SSS. We go further to break the last standing dedicated design of SSSC, i.e. the ECRYPT proposal MOSQUITO. Our attack costs about 270 computation steps, while a 96-bit security level was expected. It also applies to Γ Υ (an ancestor of MOSQUITO) therefore the only secure remaining SSSC are block- cipher-based constructions. 1 Introduction Symmetric encryption algorithms are generally split in two parts : stream ciphers and block ciphers. On the one hand, stream ciphers manipulate the plaintext by short packets of data (for instance bit per bit), using a time-dependent transform. Typically the output of a PRNG (Pseudo-Random Number Gener- ator) is XORed to the plaintext. On the other hand, block ciphers manipulate the plaintext by larger packets of data (typically 128 bits for AES [17]) using a fixed transform. Self-Synchronizing Stream Ciphers (SSSC) are a special primitive : they are often considered as a simple subclass of stream ciphers, but there are also some similarities with block ciphers. Their main property is that, when some error occurs in the transmission of the ciphertext, the decryption algorithm eventually corrects it, after a short sequence of incorrectly decrypted bits.

  • Lightweight Password Hashing Scheme for Embedded Systems
    Lightweight Password Hashing Scheme for Embedded Systems George Hatzivasilis1, Ioannis Papaefstathiou1, Charalampos Manifavas2, and Ioannis Askoxylakis3 1 Dept. of Electronic & Computer Engineering, Technical University of Crete, Chania, Crete, Greece [email protected], [email protected] 2 Dept. of Informatics Engineering, Technological Educational Institute of Crete, Heraklion, Crete, Greece [email protected] 3 Foundation for Research and Technology { Hellas (FORTH), Heraklion, Crete, Greece [email protected] Abstract. Passwords constitute the main mean for authentication in computer systems. In order to maintain the user-related information at the service provider end, password hashing schemes (PHS) are uti- lized. The limited and old-fashioned solutions led the international cryp- tographic community to conduct the Password Hashing Competition (PHC). The competition will propose a small portfolio of schemes suit- able for widespread usage until 2015. Embedded systems form a spe- cial application domain, utilizing devices with inherent computational limitations. Lightweight cryptography focuses in designing schemes for such devices and targets moderate levels of security. In this paper, a lightweight poly PHS suitable for lightweight cryptography is presented. At first, we design two lightweight versions of the PHC schemes Catena and PolyPassHash. Then, we integrate them and implement the proposed scheme { called LightPolyPHS. The schemes are applied on a MANET with BeagleBone embedded devices and a fair comparison with similar proposals on mainstream computer is presented. Keywords: password hashing · PHC · Catena · PolyPassHash · lightweight cryptography · LWC · embedded systems · BeagleBone 1 Introduction Attacks on widely known organizations, like SONY [1] and LinkedIn [2], have exposed mounts of user accounts and credentials. The poor password protection practises [3] are exploited by the attackers in order to recover the user passwords from the stolen data.

[email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 2 East China Normal University, Shanghai, China 3 KDDI Research, Fujimino, Japan. [email protected], [email protected] 4 National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Tokyo, Japan 5 PRESTO, Japan Science and Technology Agency, Tokyo, Japan Abstract. In this paper, we present an AES-based authenticated-encryption with associated-data scheme called Rocca, with the purpose to reach the requirements on the speed and security in 6G systems. To achieve ultra-fast software implementations, the basic design strategy is to take full advantage of the AES-NI and SIMD instructions as that of the AEGIS family and Tiaoxin-346. Although Jean and Nikolić have generalized the way to construct efficient round functions using only one round of AES (aesenc) and 128-bit XOR operation and have found several efficient candidates, there still seems to exist potential to further improve it regarding speed and state size. In order to minimize the critical path of one round, we remove the case of applying both aesenc and XOR in a cascade way for one round. By introducing a cost-free block permutation in the round function, we are able to search for candidates in a larger space without sacrificing the performance.
