Assures confidentiality and integrity of data • Protected communications are not visible by others. • Verifies data has not been altered or corrupted. Provides authentication • Verifies identity of participants. Non-repudiation • Undeniable transactions – sender sent it, recipient received it. • Usually requires an independent third party (Certificate Authority). • Digital signatures provide the mechanisms behind the concept. 6 **006 First, before we go any further whatsoever, the idea of cryptography is to communicate in the presence of adversaries. You and I want to talk, and we don't want them to listen in. So what we want in cryptography is we want to use mathematical transforms of different kinds to ensure that our communication is protected, confidential. We also want to make sure that our communications aren't interrupted by a man in the middle that can swap our communications out and put something else in. Page 2 of 33 We also want to provide authentication. How do you know it wasn't somebody else that jumped into this? There's no take- backsies." That's what nonrepudiation is. It says you can't deny that you said something. You can't take it back. Nonrepudiation typically involves a certification authority. You could do it without. So then with cryptography, we need to talk about the tools that we use. Cryptography Interoperability Cryptography Interoperability Achieved when crypto systems work together seamlessly. • For example, web-browser based SSL Good design goal when designing new systems. • For example, does a WAP support WEP, WPA, WPA2, or all 3? Validate any vendor claims of interoperability. • Common Criteria, NIST, and the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP). 7 **007 When we use those tools, can you use the same tool that I do? So Page 3 of 33 what we have to do is all agree that we're going to use the same protocol and the same encryption methodologies for it to all work out. And the reason why old cryptography stays in place for a really long time is because not only do you and I have to agree, but we have to get the whole world to agree. And when we design new systems, we need to make sure that that system-- well, that it thinks about the other possibilities in the future. A perfect example of a good system gone bad is our first try at encryption for wireless communications, in WEP. Also, we need to roll this out to the vendors and they need to be able to implement it. And in a lot of cryptography, what we do is we use hardware, special purpose ASIX chips that are designed for that one thing. So think about chip fabrication. How long do you think that takes? That's years. Then once we create a design, once we create an implementation-- maybe even once we create chips-- how do we know that that is verifiable and valid for the uses that we put it to? And that's where we start reaching out to cryptographic module validation programs; we start reaching out to governments and asking them to review our design. Page 4 of 33 Cryptography in Everyday Use Cryptography in Everyday Use E-mail • Messages and attachments can be encrypted. • Implementations are S/MIME, PGP, and PEM. E-commerce • Transactions can be encrypted. • Implementations include SSL/TLS, and PCI-DSS. 8 **008 We use this every single day in ecommerce. There's no doubt about it. Some of us use it every single day in email. You don't have to have any fancy setup to use cryptography on a day-to-day basis, because it's built into most of the things that we're doing. Some regulations require that we have cryptography end-to-end. Page 5 of 33 Common Terms in Cryptography -1 Common Terms in Cryptography -1 Cryptosystem – the system of algorithm, parameters, key, and/or password used for encrypting and decrypting data. Code – a cryptosystem that uses substitution of words for the original text. Cipher – a procedure to scramble a message so only the person with the knowledge of how it was scrambled (the key) can read it. Steganography – process of hiding information in another message or file. 9 **009 Cryptosystems. This is all of the mathematical transforms that are all jammed together. This is where the key sits. This is where the algorithm sits. There is where all the parameters can be changed within the system, and if it's got a password, this is where it encrypts and decrypts. This could be a chip right with current Intel processors. There is actually a separate chip within most Intel processors today that does AES encryption and decryption as a separate chip. When we talk about code, that is usually a substitution, a trade for one thing or the other. For example, Page 6 of 33 code talker. So, in World War II, we wanted to have communications from ship to shore, and the way we did that was we didn't use what everybody else used. We had our own special cryptographers, which were Native Americans. What they did was is they took information from the ships and translated it into their native language, which there was no written record of that native language for our adversaries. And then on the other side, the other Native American on the other side would retranslate that back into issued orders. There was no record of this, so there was no way to do that code translation. Well, these code talkers had to come up with codes that fit with artillery movements and words that weren't in their language. So a code is to trade one for another, or substitution. A cipher is a way to scramble things. I want to encipher or decipher. And so we'll create a mathematical transformation that predictively scrambles those things. And when we run that math the other way-- or run it the same way in some cases, especially for symmetric encryption-- it will decipher it so that we can read it again. So ciphering is the procedure for scrambling. Steganography is covert communications. And the best way that I can give you an example of this is when we do invisible ink. We Page 7 of 33 still have to pass something back and forth, but when our adversaries look at it, they just see, "Oh, he's handing them a piece of paper." Common Terms in Cryptography - 2 Common Terms in Cryptography -2 Plain text – the original, unencrypted data. Cipher text – the encrypted data. Substitution – each character is replaced with another to form the cipher text. • Simple – one to one Message Nfttbhf • Homophonic – one to many Message Nafbtctdbehffg • Polygram – block to block Message Actksisiwksiea • Polyalphabetic – multiple alphabets Message Transposition – reorders plain text to form cipher text. MES MESSAGE SAG MSEEA0SG0 E00 10 **010 Some other common cryptology terms that dig down into what we're doing. Plain text-- that's the stuff that humans can read. Cipher text-- that's the stuff that's been transformed

Given its prevalence, the security provided by AES is of utmost importance. Technology is advancing at an incredible rate, in both capability and popularity, much faster than its rate of advancement in the late 1990s when AES was selected as the replacement standard for DES. Although the literature surrounding AES is robust, most studies fall into either theoretical or practical yet infeasible.

  • Constructing Low-Weight Dth-Order Correlation-Immune Boolean Functions Through the Fourier-Hadamard Transform Claude Carlet and Xi Chen*
    1 Constructing low-weight dth-order correlation-immune Boolean functions through the Fourier-Hadamard transform Claude Carlet and Xi Chen* Abstract The correlation immunity of Boolean functions is a property related to cryptography, to error correcting codes, to orthogonal arrays (in combinatorics, which was also a domain of interest of S. Golomb) and in a slightly looser way to sequences. Correlation-immune Boolean functions (in short, CI functions) have the property of keeping the same output distribution when some input variables are fixed. They have been widely used as combiners in stream ciphers to allow resistance to the Siegenthaler correlation attack. Very recently, a new use of CI functions has appeared in the framework of side channel attacks (SCA). To reduce the cost overhead of counter-measures to SCA, CI functions need to have low Hamming weights. This actually poses new challenges since the known constructions which are based on properties of the Walsh-Hadamard transform, do not allow to build unbalanced CI functions. In this paper, we propose constructions of low-weight dth-order CI functions based on the Fourier- Hadamard transform, while the known constructions of resilient functions are based on the Walsh-Hadamard transform. We first prove a simple but powerful result, which makes that one only need to consider the case where d is odd in further research. Then we investigate how constructing low Hamming weight CI functions through the Fourier-Hadamard transform (which behaves well with respect to the multiplication of Boolean functions). We use the characterization of CI functions by the Fourier-Hadamard transform and introduce a related general construction of CI functions by multiplication.

  • Related-Key Cryptanalysis of 3-WAY, Biham-DES,CAST, DES-X, Newdes, RC2, and TEA
    Related-Key Cryptanalysis of 3-WAY, Biham-DES,CAST, DES-X, NewDES, RC2, and TEA John Kelsey Bruce Schneier David Wagner Counterpane Systems U.C. Berkeley kelsey,schneier @counterpane.com [email protected] f g Abstract. We present new related-key attacks on the block ciphers 3- WAY, Biham-DES, CAST, DES-X, NewDES, RC2, and TEA. Differen- tial related-key attacks allow both keys and plaintexts to be chosen with specific differences [KSW96]. Our attacks build on the original work, showing how to adapt the general attack to deal with the difficulties of the individual algorithms. We also give specific design principles to protect against these attacks. 1 Introduction Related-key cryptanalysis assumes that the attacker learns the encryption of certain plaintexts not only under the original (unknown) key K, but also under some derived keys K0 = f(K). In a chosen-related-key attack, the attacker specifies how the key is to be changed; known-related-key attacks are those where the key difference is known, but cannot be chosen by the attacker. We emphasize that the attacker knows or chooses the relationship between keys, not the actual key values. These techniques have been developed in [Knu93b, Bih94, KSW96]. Related-key cryptanalysis is a practical attack on key-exchange protocols that do not guarantee key-integrity|an attacker may be able to flip bits in the key without knowing the key|and key-update protocols that update keys using a known function: e.g., K, K + 1, K + 2, etc. Related-key attacks were also used against rotor machines: operators sometimes set rotors incorrectly.

  • KLEIN: a New Family of Lightweight Block Ciphers
    KLEIN: A New Family of Lightweight Block Ciphers Zheng Gong1, Svetla Nikova1;2 and Yee Wei Law3 1Faculty of EWI, University of Twente, The Netherlands fz.gong, [email protected] 2 Dept. ESAT/SCD-COSIC, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium 3 Department of EEE, The University of Melbourne, Australia [email protected] Abstract Resource-efficient cryptographic primitives become fundamental for realizing both security and efficiency in embedded systems like RFID tags and sensor nodes. Among those primitives, lightweight block cipher plays a major role as a building block for security protocols. In this paper, we describe a new family of lightweight block ciphers named KLEIN, which is designed for resource-constrained devices such as wireless sensors and RFID tags. Compared to the related proposals, KLEIN has ad- vantage in the software performance on legacy sensor platforms, while its hardware implementation can be compact as well. Key words. Block cipher, Wireless sensor network, Low-resource implementation. 1 Introduction With the development of wireless communication and embedded systems, we become increasingly de- pendent on the so called pervasive computing; examples are smart cards, RFID tags, and sensor nodes that are used for public transport, pay TV systems, smart electricity meters, anti-counterfeiting, etc. Among those applications, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have attracted more and more attention since their promising applications, such as environment monitoring, military scouting and healthcare. On resource-limited devices the choice of security algorithms should be very careful by consideration of the implementation costs. Symmetric-key algorithms, especially block ciphers, still play an important role for the security of the embedded systems.

  • The Missing Difference Problem, and Its Applications to Counter Mode
    The Missing Difference Problem, and its Applications to Counter Mode Encryption? Ga¨etanLeurent and Ferdinand Sibleyras Inria, France fgaetan.leurent,[email protected] Abstract. The counter mode (CTR) is a simple, efficient and widely used encryption mode using a block cipher. It comes with a security proof that guarantees no attacks up to the birthday bound (i.e. as long as the number of encrypted blocks σ satisfies σ 2n=2), and a matching attack that can distinguish plaintext/ciphertext pairs from random using about 2n=2 blocks of data. The main goal of this paper is to study attacks against the counter mode beyond this simple distinguisher. We focus on message recovery attacks, with realistic assumptions about the capabilities of an adversary, and evaluate the full time complexity of the attacks rather than just the query complexity. Our main result is an attack to recover a block of message with complexity O~(2n=2). This shows that the actual security of CTR is similar to that of CBC, where collision attacks are well known to reveal information about the message. To achieve this result, we study a simple algorithmic problem related to the security of the CTR mode: the missing difference problem. We give efficient algorithms for this problem in two practically relevant cases: where the missing difference is known to be in some linear subspace, and when the amount of data is higher than strictly required. As a further application, we show that the second algorithm can also be used to break some polynomial MACs such as GMAC and Poly1305, with a universal forgery attack with complexity O~(22n=3).

  • State of the Art in Lightweight Symmetric Cryptography
    State of the Art in Lightweight Symmetric Cryptography Alex Biryukov1 and Léo Perrin2 1 SnT, CSC, University of Luxembourg, [email protected] 2 SnT, University of Luxembourg, [email protected] Abstract. Lightweight cryptography has been one of the “hot topics” in symmetric cryptography in the recent years. A huge number of lightweight algorithms have been published, standardized and/or used in commercial products. In this paper, we discuss the different implementation constraints that a “lightweight” algorithm is usually designed to satisfy. We also present an extensive survey of all lightweight symmetric primitives we are aware of. It covers designs from the academic community, from government agencies and proprietary algorithms which were reverse-engineered or leaked. Relevant national (nist...) and international (iso/iec...) standards are listed. We then discuss some trends we identified in the design of lightweight algorithms, namely the designers’ preference for arx-based and bitsliced-S-Box-based designs and simple key schedules. Finally, we argue that lightweight cryptography is too large a field and that it should be split into two related but distinct areas: ultra-lightweight and IoT cryptography. The former deals only with the smallest of devices for which a lower security level may be justified by the very harsh design constraints. The latter corresponds to low-power embedded processors for which the Aes and modern hash function are costly but which have to provide a high level security due to their greater connectivity. Keywords: Lightweight cryptography · Ultra-Lightweight · IoT · Internet of Things · SoK · Survey · Standards · Industry 1 Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the foremost buzzwords in computer science and information technology at the time of writing.
