Carsten Abstract Two current trends in the automotive industry are the increasing number of connected vehicles and automated driving. The former enables the use of different applications within the vehicle. These applications might be restricted to vehicles with certain features such as manufacturer or model. To enable automated driving, the vehicle needs information about the road ahead. This information might be provided by an application. In order to keep the street information up to date connected vehicles share their sensor data. This data is then aggregated on a central server. Furthermore, it has a restricted spatial and temporal validity. Therefore, the vehicles also need to provide the corresponding time and position information. When reporting position data, it is possible, for example, to generate movement profiles or to identify sensitive locations. Hence, it is critical which information different applications reveal about the corresponding vehicles. Therefore, in this thesis we propose four different schemes which restrict the infor- mation applications can obtain from vehicles. The first scheme addresses the prob- lem how a vehicle can authenticate itself privacy preserving based on attributes at an application without revealing all its attributes. The second scheme provides a solu- tion for the question how two vehicles can authenticate each other for an application and exchange confidential data without disclosing their identity. The third scheme obfuscates the identity of a vehicle while sharing sensor data with a central server. The fourth scheme is related to the question how data can be distributed by a central server to all vehicles equipped with a particular application and located within a cer- tain area without tracking the vehicles and knowing their subscribed applications. In addition, we outline how these schemes can be combined. We demonstrate that each scheme is practical by presenting prototype implemen- tations. Additionally, we simulate the second and third scheme in order to assess the impact on the vehicles privacy. Zusammenfassung Zwei aktuelle Trends in der Automobilindustrie sind einerseits die zunehmende Ver- netzung der Fahrzeuge und andererseits das automatisierte Fahren. Durch ersteres wird es ermöglicht, verschiedene Anwendungen im Fahrzeug zu nutzen. Diese An- wendungen können auf Fahrzeuge mit bestimmten Eigenschaften wie Hersteller oder Modell beschränkt sein. Das automatisierte Fahren benötigt Informationen über die voraus liegende Stre- cke, welche über eine Anwendung bereitgestellt werden. Um die Straßeninforma- tionen auf aktuellem Stand zu halten, stellen die vernetzten Fahrzeuge Sensordaten bereit, die schließlich auf einem zentralen Server gesammelt werden. Da diese Daten eine begrenzte räumliche und zeitliche Gültigkeit haben muss das Fahrzeug auch die zugehörigen Zeit- und Positionsinformationen bereitstellen Durch die Weitergabe von Positionsdaten können jedoch beispielsweise Bewe- gungsprofile erstellt oder sensible Orte identifiziert werden. Daher ist es ein kri- tischer Aspekt, welche Informationen die verschiedenen Anwendungen über die Fahrzeuge preisgeben. Deshalb werden in dieser Arbeit vier Verfahren vorgestellt, um die weitergegebe- nen Informationen gezielt einzuschränken: Das erste Verfahren beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie sich ein Fahrzeug bei gleichzeitiger Wahrung der Privatsphäre, ba- sierend auf Attributen für eine Anwendung, authentifizieren kann, ohne alle seine Eigenschaften zu offenbaren. Das zweite Verfahren erlaubt es, dass sich zwei Fahr- zeuge gegenseitig für eine Anwendung authentifizieren und vertrauliche Daten aus- tauschen, ohne ihre Identität zu offenbaren. Das dritte Verfahren verschleiert die Identität eines Fahrzeuges, welches Sensordaten an einen zentralen Server sendet. Das vierte Verfahren ermöglicht es einem Server, Informationen an alle Fahrzeuge mit einer speziellen Anwendung in einem bestimmten Gebiet zu senden, ohne den Standort der Fahrzeuge oder die installierten Anwendungen zu kennen. Zusätzlich zeigen wir, wie diese Verfahren miteinander kombiniert werden können. Mithilfe prototypischer Implementierungen demonstrieren wir, dass jedes dieser Verfahren praxistauglich ist. Für das zweite und dritte Verfahren führen wir zur Beurteilung der Auswirkungen auf die Privatsphäre zusätzlich Simulationen durch. Contents 1. Introduction1 1.1. Motivation . .2 1.2.

  • Key Exchange with Anonymous Authentication Using DAA-SIGMA Protocol
    Key Exchange with Anonymous Authentication using DAA-SIGMA Protocol Jesse Walker and Jiangtao Li Intel Labs {jesse.walker, jiangtao.li}@intel.com Abstract. Anonymous digital signatures such as Direct Anonymous Attestation (DAA) and group signatures have been a fundamental building block for anonymous entity authentication. In this paper, we show how to incorporate DAA schemes into a key exchange protocol between two entities to achieve anonymous authentication and to derive a shared key between them. We propose a modification to the SIGMA key exchange protocol used in the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) standards to support anonymous authentication using DAA. Our key exchange protocol can be also extended to support group signature schemes instead of DAA. We present a secure model for key exchange with anonymous authentication derived from the Canetti-Krawczyk key-exchange security model. We prove that our DAA-SIGMA protocol is secure under our security model. 1 Introduction Anonymous digital signatures such as group signatures [22, 2, 5, 6], Direct Anonymous Attestation (DAA) [7, 8, 23, 24, 14], and anonymous credentials [15–17] play an important role in privacy en- hanced technologies. They allow an entity (e.g., a user, a computer platform, or a hardware device) to create a signature without revealing its identity. Anonymous signatures also enable anonymous entity authentication. The concept of group signature scheme was first introduced by Chaum and van Heyst [22] in 1991. In a group signature scheme, all the group members share a group public key, yet each member has a unique private key. A group signature created by a group member is anonymous to all the entities except a trusted group manager.

  • SGX Attestation Process Research Seminar in Cryptograpy
    SGX attestation process Research seminar in Cryptograpy Author: Hiie Vill Supervisor: Pille Pullonen Introduction Software Guard Extensions (SGX) is a technology, the main function of which is to establish special protected software containers, also known as enclaves. These enclaves can be used for provisioning sensitive parts of a software executable in order to protect them from malicious entities. In order to verify remotely that an application is running securely within an enclave, a remote attestation must be performed. This report gives an overview of the attestation process, the background related to it and the necessary requirements for remote attestation [1][2]. 1. Software Guard Extensions Software Guard Extensions (SGX) is a technology introduced by Intel in 2015, which provides hardware assisted security for the application layer. In itself, SGX is a set of processor extensions for establishing a protected execution environment, referred to as an enclave, and the software related to it. More specifically, enclaves are protected areas of execution in memory, providing a trusted execution environment, even on a compromised platform. In order to protect an application from malicious entities, the software’s code, data and stack are stored within the enclave and protected by hardware enforced access control policies, making the application inaccessible to any malware on the platform. This means that SGX enables applications to defend themselves, protecting any sensitive data used by the application (for example credentials and cryptographic keys), while retaining its integrity and confidentiality [1][2]. 2. Preliminaries In this section, some terminology will be briefly explained that is used in the remote attestation process in order to familiarize the reader with the background information.

Limited resources, bandwidth, and power on the devices have led to new protocols. Some examples of IoT driven and driving protocols are: – MQTT, CoAP that are application protocols for IoT; – 6LoWPAN enables efficient support of IPv6 on low power lossy networks; – CBOR enables concise data formatting; and – DTLS enables secure channel establishment over unreliable transport like the UDP. Security is one of the key factors for the success of IoT. TLS/DTLS secures the channel between the servers and the devices. Confidentiality is an important aspect of such a secure channel. Establishing the identity of an entity another.

However, its utilization in resource-constrained mobile devices is limited due to high demands of resources and poor scalability with frequent-intensive transactions. Edge computing can be integrated to facilitate mobile devices in offloading their mining tasks to cloud resources. This integration ensures reliable access, distributed computation and untampered storage for scalable and secure transactions. It is imperative therefore that crucial issues of security, scalability and resources management be addressed to achieve successful integration. Studies have been conducted to explore suitable architectural requirements, and some researchers have applied the integration to deploy some specific applications. Despite these efforts, however, issues of anonymity, adaptability and integrity still need to be investigated further to attain a practical, secure decentralized data storage. We based our study on peer-to-peer and blockchain to achieve an Internet of Things (IoT) design supported by edge computing to acquire security and scalability levels needed for the integration.

ABSTRACT The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has released the 3.5 GHz (3550-3700 MHz) band, termed Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), for shared broadband use between incumbent federal and secondary users through dynamic and opportunistic spectrum access. FCC requires that this band be operated and managed through the use of spectrum access systems (SASs), which are to be deployed specifically for this purpose. The challenge is that SAS requires that secondary users provide some of their private operational data, such as their physical location, identity and spectrum usage, in order for them to acquire spectrum availability information. In this paper, we propose a privacy-preserving SAS framework, TrustSAS, that synergizes state-of-the-art cryptographic mechanisms with blockchain technology to enable anonymous access to SAS by protecting users' privacy while still complying with FCC's regulatory design requirements and rules.

    Diss. ETH No. 25512 Composable Anonymous Credentials from Global Random Oracles A thesis submitted to attain the degree of DOCTOR OF SCIENCES of ETH ZURICH (Dr. sc. ETH Zurich) presented by Manu Drijvers Master of Science, Radboud University born 07.02.1991 citizen of the Netherlands accepted on the recommendation of Prof. Dr. Srdjan Capkun,ˇ examiner Dr. Jan Camenisch, co-examiner Prof. Dr. Emiliano De Cristofaro, co-examiner Prof. Dr. Alessandra Scafuro, co-examiner 2018 Abstract Authentication is a key aspect of digital security. However, users must authenticate frequently and are often asked to reveal more information than neccessary in the process. Not only does this hurt the privacy of users, it also negatively impacts security, e.g., by increasing the risk of identity theft. Anonymous credentials allow for privacy-friendly au- thentication, by revealing only minimal information, and by guarantee- ing unlinkability of multiple authentications. The most efficient anony- mous credential schemes today work in the so-called random-oracle model, in which a hash function is idealized as an oracle implementing a random function. In this thesis, we work towards composable anony- mous credentials from random oracles, which means that the security remains in tact if we run an instance of this protocol alongside many other protocols. As authentication is typically just one building block of a larger system, composability is a very important property. First, we investigate the power of global random oracles in the gener- alized universal composability framework. Global random oracles cap- ture the setting in which a single idealized hash function can be used by many different protocols.
