  • A Practical Attack on Broadcast RC4
    A Practical Attack on Broadcast RC4 Itsik Mantin and Adi Shamir Computer Science Department, The Weizmann Institute, Rehovot 76100, Israel. {itsik,shamir}@wisdom.weizmann.ac.il Abstract. RC4is the most widely deployed stream cipher in software applications. In this paper we describe a major statistical weakness in RC4, which makes it trivial to distinguish between short outputs of RC4 and random strings by analyzing their second bytes. This weakness can be used to mount a practical ciphertext-only attack on RC4in some broadcast applications, in which the same plaintext is sent to multiple recipients under different keys. 1 Introduction A large number of stream ciphers were proposed and implemented over the last twenty years. Most of these ciphers were based on various combinations of linear feedback shift registers, which were easy to implement in hardware, but relatively slow in software. In 1987Ron Rivest designed the RC4 stream cipher, which was based on a different and more software friendly paradigm. It was integrated into Microsoft Windows, Lotus Notes, Apple AOCE, Oracle Secure SQL, and many other applications, and has thus become the most widely used software- based stream cipher. In addition, it was chosen to be part of the Cellular Digital Packet Data specification. Its design was kept a trade secret until 1994, when someone anonymously posted its source code to the Cypherpunks mailing list. The correctness of this unofficial description was confirmed by comparing its outputs to those produced by licensed implementations. RC4 has a secret internal state which is a permutation of all the N =2n possible n bits words.

  • An Archeology of Cryptography: Rewriting Plaintext, Encryption, and Ciphertext
    An Archeology of Cryptography: Rewriting Plaintext, Encryption, and Ciphertext By Isaac Quinn DuPont A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Isaac Quinn DuPont 2017 ii An Archeology of Cryptography: Rewriting Plaintext, Encryption, and Ciphertext Isaac Quinn DuPont Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Tis dissertation is an archeological study of cryptography. It questions the validity of thinking about cryptography in familiar, instrumentalist terms, and instead reveals the ways that cryptography can been understood as writing, media, and computation. In this dissertation, I ofer a critique of the prevailing views of cryptography by tracing a number of long overlooked themes in its history, including the development of artifcial languages, machine translation, media, code, notation, silence, and order. Using an archeological method, I detail historical conditions of possibility and the technical a priori of cryptography. Te conditions of possibility are explored in three parts, where I rhetorically rewrite the conventional terms of art, namely, plaintext, encryption, and ciphertext. I argue that plaintext has historically been understood as kind of inscription or form of writing, and has been associated with the development of artifcial languages, and used to analyze and investigate the natural world. I argue that the technical a priori of plaintext, encryption, and ciphertext is constitutive of the syntactic iii and semantic properties detailed in Nelson Goodman’s theory of notation, as described in his Languages of Art. I argue that encryption (and its reverse, decryption) are deterministic modes of transcription, which have historically been thought of as the medium between plaintext and ciphertext.

R. Webb Je l’offre [ce livre] surtout a` mes critiques, a` ceux qui voudront bien le corriger, l’ameliorer,´ le refaire, le mettre au niveau des progres` ulterieurs´ de la science. “Plurimi pertransibunt, et multiplex erit scientia.” (Jules Michelet, Histoire de France, 1, 1833) Thus wrote Michelet to open his monumental history of France. By deploying this prophetic line from the book of Daniel in support of a positivistic approach to historical science, he was participating in a discourse on this perplexing passage that spanned nearly two millennia. He perhaps surmised this, though he probably did not know how deeply the passage penetrated into the intellectual tradition of the West or that he was favoring one interpretation of it over another.1 It is the trajectory of the interpretations of Daniel 12.4 in the Latin West from their first formulation in late antiquity that concerns the present exploration.

  • Answers to Exercises
    Answers to Exercises A bird does not sing because he has an answer, he sings because he has a song. —Chinese Proverb Intro.1: abstemious, abstentious, adventitious, annelidous, arsenious, arterious, face- tious, sacrilegious. Intro.2: When a software house has a popular product they tend to come up with new versions. A user can update an old version to a new one, and the update usually comes as a compressed file on a floppy disk. Over time the updates get bigger and, at a certain point, an update may not fit on a single floppy. This is why good compression is important in the case of software updates. The time it takes to compress and decompress the update is unimportant since these operations are typically done just once. Recently, software makers have taken to providing updates over the Internet, but even in such cases it is important to have small files because of the download times involved. 1.1: (1) ask a question, (2) absolutely necessary, (3) advance warning, (4) boiling hot, (5) climb up, (6) close scrutiny, (7) exactly the same, (8) free gift, (9) hot water heater, (10) my personal opinion, (11) newborn baby, (12) postponed until later, (13) unexpected surprise, (14) unsolved mysteries. 1.2: A reasonable way to use them is to code the five most-common strings in the text. Because irreversible text compression is a special-purpose method, the user may know what strings are common in any particular text to be compressed. The user may specify five such strings to the encoder, and they should also be written at the start of the output stream, for the decoder’s use.
