  • PV204: Disk Encryption Lab
    PV204: Disk encryption lab May 12, 2016, Milan Broz <[email protected]> Introduction Encryption can provide confidentiality and authenticity of user data. It can be implemented on several different layes, including application, file system or storage device. Application encryption examples are PGP or ZIP compression with password. Encryption of files (inside filesystem or through independent layer like Linux eCryptfs) provides more generic solution. Yet some parts (like filesystem metadata) are still unencrypted. However this solution provides encrypted data with private key per user. (Every user can have own directory encrypted by own key.) Encryption of the low-level storage (disk) is called Full Disk Encryption (FDE). It is completely transparent to the user (no need to choose what to encrypt – the whole disk is encrypted). The encrypted disk behaves as the same as a disk without encryption. The major disadvantage is that everyone who knows the password can read the whole disk. Often we combine FDE with another encryption layer. The primary use of FDE is to provide data confidentiality in power-down mode (stolen laptop does not leak user data). Once the disk is unlocked, the main encryption key remains in system, usually directly in system RAM. Exercise II will show how easy is to get this key from memory image of system. Another disadvantage of FDE is that it usually cannot guarantee integrity of data. Encryption is fully transparent and length-preserving, the ciphertext and plaintext device are of the same size. There is no space to store any integrity information. This allows attacks by direct modification of ciphertext.

  • ANDROID PRIVACY THROUGH ENCRYPTION by DANIEL
    ANDROID PRIVACY THROUGH ENCRYPTION by DANIEL DEFREEZ A THESIS Presented to the Department of Computer Science in partial fullfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science Ashland, Oregon May 2012 ii APPROVAL PAGE “Android Privacy Through Encryption,” a thesis prepared by Daniel DeFreez in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science. This project has been approved and accepted by: Dr. Lynn Ackler, Chair of the Examining Committee Date Pete Nordquist, Committee Member Date Hart Wilson, Committee Member Date Daniel DeFreez c 2012 iii ABSTRACT OF THESIS ANDROID PRIVACY THROUGH ENCRYPTION By Daniel DeFreez This thesis explores the field of Android forensics in relation to a person’s right to privacy. As the field of mobile forensics becomes increasingly sophisticated, it is clear that bypassing common privacy measures, such as disk encryption, will become routine. A new keying method for eCryptfs is proposed that could significantly mitigate memory attacks against encrypted file systems. It is shown how eCryptfs could be modified to implement this keying method on an Android device. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Lynn Ackler for introducing me to the vast world of computer security and forensics, cultivating a healthy paranoia, and for being a truly excellent teacher. Dr. Dan Harvey, Pete Nordquist, and Hart Wilson provided helpful feedback during the preparation of this thesis, for which I thank them. I am deeply indebted to my friends and colleagues Brandon Kester, Andrew Krug, Adam Mashinchi, Jeff McJunkin, and Stephen Perkins, for their enthusiastic interest in the forensics and security fields, insightful comments, love of free software, and encouraging words.

  • Voice in Virtual Worlds: the Design, Use and Influence of Voice Chat in Online Play
    Voice in virtual worlds: The design, use and influence of voice chat in online play Running Head: Voice in virtual worlds ABSTRACT Communication is a critical aspect of any collaborative system. In online multiplayer games and virtual worlds it is especially complex. Users are present over long periods and require both synchronous and asynchronous communication, but may prefer to be pseudonymous or engage in identity-play while simultaneously managing virtual and physical use contexts. Initially the only medium offered for player-to-player communication in virtual worlds was text, a medium well-suited to identity-play and asynchronous communication; less so to fast-paced coordination and sociability among friends. During the past decade vendors have introduced facilities for gamers to communicate by voice. Yet little research has been conducted to help us understand its influence on the experience of virtual space: where, when and for whom voice is beneficial, and how it might be configured. To address this gap we conducted empirical research across a range of online gaming environments. We analyzed our observations in the light of theory from human-computer interaction (HCI), computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) and computer- mediated communication (CMC). We conclude that voice radically transforms the experience of online gaming, making virtual spaces more intensely social but turning them into maelstroms of impression management, identity play, and ambiguity over what is being transmitted to whom. CONTENTS 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Communication in play 1.2. Prior work 1.3. Our research program 2. CASE STUDIES 2.1. Study 1: Speaking with strangers in Xbox Live 2.2.

GENERAL TrueCrypt is powerful encryption software for your personal data. It works by creating creating a virtual hard drive within a file and mounts it, so your computer treats it as a real hard drive. You can choose to encrypt an entire hard drive, certain folders, or removable media such as a USB flash drive. Encryption is automatic, real-time and transparent, so all the hard work is handled for you. It also provides two levels of plausible deniability, and supports various encryption algorithms depending on your needs, including AES-256, Serpent, and 6 Twofish. Introduction to TrueCrypt WHAT IT DOES What can it do? The capabilities of TrueCrypt (taken from Users Guide, Introduction on page 6): TrueCrypt is a software system for establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly- encrypted volume (data storage device).

    WHEN FILE ENCRYPTION HELPS PASSWORD CRACKING PHDays V Sylvain Pelissier, Roman Korkikian May 26, 2015 IN BRIEF Password hashing Password cracking eCryptfs presentation eCryptfs salting problem Correction Questions 2 PASSWORD HASHING 3 PASSWORD CRACKING From the hash recover the password value. 4 BRUTEFORCE 1. Get the hash file /etc/shadow 2. For all possible password, compute H(password) until a match is found in the file. 3. Output password 5 PRE-COMPUTED DICTIONNARY ATTACK 1. Create a database of all (password; H(password)). 2. To crack a given password hash, check if it is in the database. 3. Output the corresponding password 6 RAINBOW TABLE ATTACK Trade-off between computation and memory. 7 SALTING Compute H(saltjjpassword) instead of H(password) and store both salt and hash. Make dictionary and rainbow table attacks much more difficult but not bruteforce attack. Salting is used in most modern systems i.e Linux uses 5000 iterations of SHA-512 with randomly generated salt. 8 PASSWORD CRACKING Well studied problem. Several optimized tools: I John the ripper (www.openwall.com/john). I hashcat (hashcat.net/oclhashcat). Password Hashing Competition (PHC) to select new password hashing algorithms (password-hashing.net). Hashrunner contest 9 ECRYPTFS File encryption software (ecryptfs.org). Included in the Linux Kernel. Used for user home folder encryption by Ubuntu. 10 ECRYPTFS UTILS 11 ECRYPTFS UTILS 1. During creation of the encrypted home folder, a passphrase (16 bytes by default) is randomly generated. 2. The passphrase is use for file encryption (AES by default). 3. The passphrase is stored encrypted in the file: /home/.ecrpytfs/$USER/.ecrpytfs/wrapped-passphrase 4.
