Cryptography
56 Protecting Information With Cryptography Chapter by Peter Reiher (UCLA) 56.1 Introduction In previous chapters, we’ve discussed clarifying your security goals, determining your security policies, using authentication mechanisms to identify principals, and using access control mechanisms to enforce poli- cies concerning which principals can access which computer resources in which ways. While we identified a number of shortcomings and prob- lems inherent in all of these elements of securing your system, if we re- gard those topics as covered, what’s left for the operating system to worry about, from a security perspective? Why isn’t that everything? There are a number of reasons why we need more. Of particular im- portance: not everything is controlled by the operating system. But per- haps you respond, you told me the operating system is all-powerful! Not really. It has substantial control over a limited domain – the hardware on which it runs, using the interfaces of which it is given control. It has no real control over what happens on other machines, nor what happens if one of its pieces of hardware is accessed via some mechanism outside the operating system’s control. But how can we expect the operating system to protect something when the system does not itself control access to that resource? The an- swer is to prepare the resource for trouble in advance. In essence, we assume that we are going to lose the data, or that an opponent will try to alter it improperly. And we take steps to ensure that such actions don’t cause us problems. -

Conducting and Optimizing Eclipse Attacks in the Kad Peer-To-Peer Network
Conducting and Optimizing Eclipse Attacks in the Kad Peer-to-Peer Network Michael Kohnen, Mike Leske, and Erwin P. Rathgeb University of Duisburg-Essen, Institute for Experimental Mathematics, Ellernstr. 29, 45326 Essen [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. The Kad network is a structured P2P network used for file sharing. Research has proved that Sybil and Eclipse attacks have been possible in it until recently. However, the past attacks are prohibited by newly implemented secu- rity measures in the client applications. We present a new attack concept which overcomes the countermeasures and prove its practicability. Furthermore, we analyze the efficiency of our concept and identify the minimally required re- sources. Keywords: P2P security, Sybil attack, Eclipse attack, Kad. 1 Introduction and Related Work P2P networks form an overlay on top of the internet infrastructure. Nodes in a P2P network interact directly with each other, i.e., no central entity is required (at least in case of structured P2P networks). P2P networks have become increasingly popular mainly because file sharing networks use P2P technology. Several studies have shown that P2P traffic is responsible for a large share of the total internet traffic [1, 2]. While file sharing probably accounts for the largest part of the P2P traffic share, also other P2P applications exist which are widely used, e.g., Skype [3] for VoIP or Joost [4] for IPTV. The P2P paradigm is becoming more and more accepted also for professional and commercial applications (e.g., Microsoft Groove [5]), and therefore, P2P technology is one of the key components of the next generation internet. -

Additionally, many solutions leak flexibility and more relevant in industrial environments. As the industry itself need a dedicated instance for administrative tasks. These issues has different requirements like (hard) real-time behavior for will becomes more relevant in the future. As mentioned in many scenarios, different solutions are needed to fulfill future challenges. Common Industrial Ethernet solution often leak [3], the future for the industry will be more intelligent devices, scalability, flexibility, and robustness. Most realizations also which can act more dynamically. Facilities as one main area require special hardware to guarantee a hard real-time behavior. of application will consist of more devices still requiring real- Therefore, an approach is presented to realize a hard real- time or even hard real-time behavior. So we think, the existing time network for automation scenarios using Peer-to-Peer (P2P) solutions will not fulfill the future challenges in terms of technology. Kad as implementation variant of the structured decentralized P2P protocol Kademlia has been chosen as base scalability, flexibility, and robustness. for the realization. As Kad is not suitable for hard real-time Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks instead offer an innovative applications per se, changes of the protocol are necessary. Thus, alternative to the typical Client-Server or Master-Slave concepts Kad is extended by a TDMA-based mechanism. -

UNLOCKING THE FIFTH AMENDMENT: PASSWORDS AND ENCRYPTED DEVICES Laurent Sacharoff* Each year, law enforcement seizes thousands of electronic devices— smartphones, laptops, and notebooks—that it cannot open without the suspect’s password. Without this password, the information on the device sits completely scrambled behind a wall of encryption. Sometimes agents will be able to obtain the information by hacking, discovering copies of data on the cloud, or obtaining the password voluntarily from the suspects themselves. But when they cannot, may the government compel suspects to disclose or enter their password? This Article considers the Fifth Amendment protection against compelled disclosures of passwords—a question that has split and confused courts. It measures this right against the legal right of law enforcement, armed with a warrant, to search the device that it has validly seized. -

Bioinformatics is advanced from in-house computing infrastructure to cloud computing for tackling the vast quantity of biological data. This advance enables large number of collaborative researches to share their works around the world. In view of that, retrieving biological data over the internet becomes more and more difficult because of the explosive growth and frequent changes. Various efforts have been made to address the problems of data discovery and delivery in the cloud framework, but most of them suffer the hindrance by a MapReduce master server to track all available data. -
