Choosing Key Sizes for Cryptography
information security technical report 15 (2010) 21e27 available at www.sciencedirect.com www.compseconline.com/publications/prodinf.htm Choosing key sizes for cryptography Alexander W. Dent Information Security Group, University Of London, Royal Holloway, UK abstract After making the decision to use public-key cryptography, an organisation still has to make many important decisions before a practical system can be implemented. One of the more difficult challenges is to decide the length of the keys which are to be used within the system: longer keys provide more security but mean that the cryptographic operation will take more time to complete. The most common solution is to take advice from information security standards. This article will investigate the methodology that is used produce these standards and their meaning for an organisation who wishes to implement public-key cryptography. ª 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Most symmetric cryptographic schemes do The power of public-key cryptography is undeniable. It is not allow the use of keys of different lengths. If a designer astounding in its simplicity and its ability to provide solutions wishes to offer a symmetric scheme which provides different to many seemingly insurmountable organisational problems. security levels depending on the key size, then the designer However, the use of public-key cryptography in practice is has to construct distinct variants of a central design which rarely as simple as the concept first appears.

Quantum Computing Threat: How to Keep Ahead
Think openly, build securely White paper: Quantum Computing Threat: How to Keep Ahead Ë PQShield Ƕ February 2021 © PQShield Ltd | www.pqshield.com | PQShield Ltd, Oxford, OX2 7HT, UK Cryptographic agility and a clear roadmap to the upcoming NIST standards are key to a smooth and secure transition. 1 Background 1.1 New Cryptography Standards The NIST (U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology) Post‐Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Project has been running since 2016 and is now in its third, final evaluation round. This project standardizes new key establishment and digital signature algorithms that have been designed to be resistant against attacks by quantum computers. These new algorithms are intended to replace current classical‐security RSA and Elliptic Cryptography (ECDH, ECDSA) standards in applications. The particular mathematical problems that RSA and Elliptic Cryptography are based onareeasy (polynomial‐time solvable) for quantum computers. Unless complemented with quantum‐safe cryptography, this will allow for the forgery of digital signatures (integrity compromise) and de‐ cryption of previously encrypted data (confidentiality compromise) in the future. This is aheight‐ ened risk for organizations that need to secure data for long periods of time; government orga‐ nizations that handle and secure classified information have largely been the drivers ofthepost‐ quantum standardization and its adoption in the field, but banks, financial services, healthcare providers, those developing intellectual property and many others increasingly feel the need to ensure that they can protect their customers and IP – now and in the future. 1.2 Quantum Threat and Post-Quantum Cryptography The current position of NCSC (UK’s National Cyber Security Centre) and NSA (USA’s National Se‐ curity Agency) is that the best mitigation against the threat of quantum computers is quantum‐ safe cryptography, also known as post‐quantum cryptography (PQC). -
A Tutorial on the Implementation of Block Ciphers: Software and Hardware Applications
A Tutorial on the Implementation of Block Ciphers: Software and Hardware Applications Howard M. Heys Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Canada email: [email protected] Dec. 10, 2020 2 Abstract In this article, we discuss basic strategies that can be used to implement block ciphers in both software and hardware environments. As models for discussion, we use substitution- permutation networks which form the basis for many practical block cipher structures. For software implementation, we discuss approaches such as table lookups and bit-slicing, while for hardware implementation, we examine a broad range of architectures from high speed structures like pipelining, to compact structures based on serialization. To illustrate different implementation concepts, we present example data associated with specific methods and discuss sample designs that can be employed to realize different implementation strategies. We expect that the article will be of particular interest to researchers, scientists, and engineers that are new to the field of cryptographic implementation. 3 4 Terminology and Notation Abbreviation Definition SPN substitution-permutation network IoT Internet of Things AES Advanced Encryption Standard ECB electronic codebook mode CBC cipher block chaining mode CTR counter mode CMOS complementary metal-oxide semiconductor ASIC application-specific integrated circuit FPGA field-programmable gate array Table 1: Abbreviations Used in Article 5 6 Variable Definition B plaintext/ciphertext block size (also, size of cipher state) κ number -

The Whirlpool Secure Hash Function
Cryptologia, 30:55–67, 2006 Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN: 0161-1194 print DOI: 10.1080/01611190500380090 The Whirlpool Secure Hash Function WILLIAM STALLINGS Abstract In this paper, we describe Whirlpool, which is a block-cipher-based secure hash function. Whirlpool produces a hash code of 512 bits for an input message of maximum length less than 2256 bits. The underlying block cipher, based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), takes a 512-bit key and oper- ates on 512-bit blocks of plaintext. Whirlpool has been endorsed by NESSIE (New European Schemes for Signatures, Integrity, and Encryption), which is a European Union-sponsored effort to put forward a portfolio of strong crypto- graphic primitives of various types. Keywords advanced encryption standard, block cipher, hash function, sym- metric cipher, Whirlpool Introduction In this paper, we examine the hash function Whirlpool [1]. Whirlpool was developed by Vincent Rijmen, a Belgian who is co-inventor of Rijndael, adopted as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES); and by Paulo Barreto, a Brazilian crypto- grapher. Whirlpool is one of only two hash functions endorsed by NESSIE (New European Schemes for Signatures, Integrity, and Encryption) [13].1 The NESSIE project is a European Union-sponsored effort to put forward a portfolio of strong cryptographic primitives of various types, including block ciphers, symmetric ciphers, hash functions, and message authentication codes. Background An essential element of most digital signature and message authentication schemes is a hash function. A hash function accepts a variable-size message M as input and pro- duces a fixed-size hash code HðMÞ, sometimes called a message digest, as output. -
Symmetric Key Cryptosystems Definition
Symmetric Key Cryptosystems Debdeep Mukhopadhyay IIT Kharagpur Definition • Alice and Bob has the same key to encrypt as well as to decrypt • The key is shared via a “secured channel” • Symmetric Ciphers are of two types: – Block : The plaintext is encrypted in blocks – Stream: The block length is 1 • Symmetric Ciphers are used for bulk encryption, as they have better performance than their asymmetric counter-part. 1 Block Ciphers What we have learnt from history? • Observation: If we have a cipher C1=(P,P,K1,e1,d1) and a cipher C2 (P,P,K2,e2,d2). • We define the product cipher as C1xC2 by the process of first applying C1 and then C2 • Thus C1xC2=(P,P,K1xK2,e,d) • Any key is of the form: (k1,k2) and e=e2(e1(x,k1),k2). Likewise d is defined. Note that the product rule is always associative 2 Question: • Thus if we compute product of ciphers, does the cipher become stronger? – The key space become larger –2nd Thought: Does it really become larger. • Let us consider the product of a 1. multiplicative cipher (M): y=ax, where a is co-prime to 26 //Plain Texts are characters 2. shift cipher (S) : y=x + k Is MxS=SxM? • MxS: y=ax+k : key=(a,k). This is an affine cipher, as total size of key space is 312. • SxM: y=a(x+k)=ax+ak – Now, since gcd(a,26)=1, this is also an affine cipher. – key = (a,ak) – As gcd(a,26)=1, a-1 exists. There is a one-one relation between ak and k.
