4 Privacy and Encryption 4

5 Perfect Secrecy [Shannon1945] (Information Theoretic Secrecy) Defn Perfect Secrecy (informal): We’re no better off determining the plaintext when given the ciphertext. 5 AliceBob Eve 1.Eve observes everything but the c. Guesses m 1 2.Eve observes c. Guesses m 2 Goal: \Pr[m = m_1] = \Pr[m = m_2]

6 The One Time Pad 6 Miller, 1882 and Vernam, 1917 \begin{align*} E(k,m) &= k \oplus m = c\\ D(k,c) &= k \oplus c = m\\ \end{align*} $\begin{split} D(k,E(k,m)) &= D(k, k \oplus m)\\ &= k \oplus (k \oplus m)\\ &= 0 \oplus m \\ &= m \end{split}$ m: k: c: k: m: M = C = K = {0,1} n

7 Block Ciphers Modes of operations – CBC, CTR, etc. – What modes do for security, e.g., why ECB is bad, why randomize an IV for CBC, etc. Definitions – Is a block cipher a PRP or PRF Attacks 7

8 Exhaustive Search for block cipher key Goal: given a few input output pairs (m i, c i = E(k, m i )) i=1,..,nfind key k. Attack: Brute force to find the key k. Homework: What is the probability that the key k found with one pair is correct? For two pairs? 8

9 Meet in the middle attack Define 2E( (k 1,k 2 ), m) = E(k 1, E(k 2, m) ) key-len = 112 bits for 2DES Idea: key found when c’ = c’’: E(k i, m) = D(k j, c) m c' … … c … … c’’ m E(k 2,⋅)E(k 1,⋅) c 9

10 Semantic Security Game 10 E 2. Pick b=0 3. k=KeyGen(l) 4. c = E(k,m b ) A 1. Picks m 0, m 1, |m 0 | = |m 1 | 5. Guess and output b’ m 0,m 1 c World 0 E 2. Pick b=1 3. k=KeyGen(l) 4. c = E(k,m b ) A 1. Picks m 0, m 1, |m 0 | = |m 1 | 5. Guess and output b’ m 0,m 1 c World 1 A doesn’t know which world he is in, but wants to figure it out. Semantic security is a behavioral model getting at any A behaving the same in either world when E is secure.

11 Semantic security under CPA 11 Modes that return the same ciphertext (e.g., ECB, CTR) for the same plaintext are not semantically secure under a chosen plaintext attack (CPA) (many-time-key) if c b = c 0 output 0 else output 1 m 0, m 0 ∊ M C 0 ← E(k,m) m 0, m 1 ∊ M C b ← E(k,m b ) Challenger k ← K Adversary A

12 Semantic security under CPA 12 Modes that return the same ciphertext (e.g., ECB, CTR) for the same plaintext are not semantically secure under a chosen plaintext attack (CPA) (many-time-key) if c b = c 0 output 0 else output 1 m 0, m 0 ∊ M C 0 ← E(k,m) m 0, m 1 ∊ M C b ← E(k,m b ) Challenger k ← K Adversary A Encryption modes must be randomized or use a nonce (or are vulnerable to CPA)

13 Hashes and MACS 13

14 Message Integrity Goal: integrity (not secrecy) Examples: – Protecting binaries on disk. – Protecting banner ads on web pages Security Principles: – Integrity means no one can forge a signature 14

15 PRF Security Game (A behavioral model) 15 E 2. if(tbl[x] undefined) tbl[x] = rand() return y =tbl[x] A 1. Picks x 5. Guess and output b’ x y World 0 E y = PRF(x) A 1. Picks x 3. Outputs guess for b x y World 1 A doesn’t know which world he is in, but wants to figure it out. For b=0,1: W b := [ event that A(W b ) =1 ] Adv SS [A,E] := | Pr[ W 0 ] − Pr[ W 1 ] | ∈ [0,1] Always 1

16 Secure PRF: An Alternate Interpretation 16 For b = 0,1 define experiment EXP(b) as: Def: PRF is a secure PRF if for all efficient A: Challenger F Adversary

17 Secure MAC Game Security goal: A cannot produce a valid tag on a message – Even if the message is gibberish 17 Challenger 1. k = KeyGen(l) 3. Compute i in 0...q: t i = S(m i, k) 5. b = V(m,t,k) Adversary A 2. Picks m 1,..., m q 4. picks m not in m 1,...,m q Generates t m 1,...,m q t 1,...,t q m,t b = {yes,no} existential forgery if b=“yes”

18 Birthday Paradox Rule of Thumb Given N possibilities, and random samples x 1,..., x j, PR[x i = x j ] ≈ 50% when j = N 1/2 18

19 Generic attack on hash functions Let H: M  {0,1} n be a hash function ( |M| >> 2 n ) Generic alg. to find a collision in time O(2 n/2 ) hashes Algorithm: 1.Choose 2 n/2 random messages in M: m 1, …, m 2 n/2 (distinct w.h.p ) 2.For i = 1, …, 2 n/2 compute t i = H(m i ) ∈{0,1} n 3.Look for a collision (t i = t j ). If not found, got back to step 1. How well will this work? 19

20 Brute Force Online Brute Force Attack: input: hp = hash(password) to crack for each i in dictionary file if(h(i) == hp) output success; Time Space Tradeoff Attack: precompute: h(i) for each i in dict file in hash tbl input: hp = hash(password) check if hp is in hash tbl 20 “rainbow tables”

21 Salts Enrollment: 1.compute hp=h(password + salt) 2.store salt || hp Verification: 1.Look up salt in password file 2.Check h(input||salt) == hp What is this good for security, given that the salt is public? 21 Salt doesn’t increase security against online attack, but does make tables much bigger.

22 Authenticated Encryption 22

23 Motivating Question: Which is Best? E(k E, m||tag) S(k I, m) m Encryption Key = K E ; MAC key = k I Option 1: SSL (MAC-then-encrypt) mtagm S(k I, c)E(k E, m) m Option 2: IPsec (Encrypt-then-MAC) mmtag S(k I, m)E(k E, m) m Option 3: SSH (Encrypt-and-MAC) mmtag 23

24 An authenticated encryption system (E,D) is a cipher where As usual: E: K × M × N ⟶ C but D: K × C × N ⟶ M ∪{ ⊥ } Security: the system must provide – Semantic security under CPA attack, and – ciphertext integrity. The attacker cannot create a new ciphertext that decrypts properly. reject ciphertext as invalid 24

25 CCA Game Definition 25 Let ENC = (E,D) over (K,M,C). For b = {0,1}, define EXP(0) and EXP(1) b Chal. k  K Adv. b’  {0,1} m i,0, m i,1  M : |m i,0 | = |m i,1 | c i  E(k, m i,b ) for i=1,…,q: (1) CPA query: c i  C : c i ∉ {c 1, …, c i-1 } m i  D(k, c i ) (2) CCA query: Ex: could query a changed c i

26 Public Key Cryptography 26

27 Eve observes: g, g a, g b Goal: compute a (or b) (i.e., calculate the discrete log) or compute g ab g a mod p 4. g b mod p 1. Pick a from [0,p-1)2. Pick b from [0,p-1) 5. Compute (g a ) b mod p as secret key 6. Compute (g b ) a mod p as secret key Alice Bob Eve

28 MITM Adversary As described, Diffie-Hellman is insecure against active Man In The Middle (MITM) attacks AliceBobMITM g a mod pg m mod p g b mod p g m mod p g ma mod p g mb mod p 28

29 Public Key Encryption Def: a public-key encryption system is a triple of algorithms (G, E, D) G(): randomized alg. outputs a key pair (pk, sk) E(pk, m): randomized alg. that takes m∈M and outputs c ∈C D(sk,c): determisitic alg. that takes c∈C and outputs m ∈ M or ⊥ Consistency: ∀(pk, sk) output by G : ∀m∈M: D(sk, E(pk, m) ) = m Note: Without randomization, an attacker can determine E(pk,m 1 ) = E(pk,m 2 ) when m 1 =m 2 29

30 Semantic Security For b=0,1 define experiments EXP(b) (i.e., EXP(0) and EXP(1)): Def: Enc = (G,E,D) is sem. secure (a.k.a IND-CPA) if for all efficient A: Adv SS [A, Enc ] = |Pr[EXP(0)=1] – Pr[EXP(1)=1] | < negligible Chal. b Adv. A (pk,sk)  G() m 0, m 1  M : |m 0 | = |m 1 | c  E(pk, m b ) b’  {0,1} EXP(b) pk No query encryptions of messages. Why? 30
