4 Guessing Numbers (person x) (last 6 digits of phone number of x) A Hash Function is a function f from A to B such that It is easy to compute f(x) for any x A. For any y B, it is hard to find an x A with f(x) = y. It is hard to find x, x A with x x and f(x) = f(x ). 4

25 Lesson learned A crypto system should be safe even if the enemy knows your encryption algorithm the enemy knows lots of plain texts together with their encryptions (no chosen plain text attacks) Solution Use a public algorithm with a secret key. 25

26 Data Encryption Standard (DES, 1974) Xor: (x y) y = x 26

27 Data Encryption Standard (DES, 1974) Xor: (x y) y = x message key encryption

28 Data Encryption Standard (DES, 1974) Xor: (x y) y = x message key encryption encryption key = message 28

29 Data Encryption Standard (DES, 1974) Xor: (x y) y = x message key encryption encryption key = message message encryption = key!danger! 29

30 Data Encryption Standard (DES, 1974) Pick a secret shared key of 64 bits. Divide the message in blocks of 64 bits. Encrypting one block consists of a combination of repeated with parts of the key, permutations, breaking up in subblocks, and small functions by table. 30

31 Data Encryption Standard (DES, 1974) Pick a secret shared key of 64 bits. Divide the message in blocks of 64 bits. Encrypting one block consists of a combination of repeated with parts of the key, permutations, breaking up in subblocks, and small functions by table. Disadvantage: Need to agree on a key before hand... System uses a secret shared key 31

Encrypting one block consists of a combination of repeated with parts of the key, permutations, breaking up in subblocks, and small functions by table. Disadvantage: Need to agree on a key before hand... System uses a secret shared key Problem: How do you prove a cryptography system is secure? 32

38 Public Keys (RSA) RSA (Rivest, Shamir, Adleman): An n >> 0, a public key e, and a private key d, such that x de x mod n for all x. 38

39 Public Keys (RSA) 0 < M < n x de x mod n M (M e ) d M e B M M d M M e A M? (M d ) e M d encrypting, sending, and decrypting a message M signing, sending, and checking the signature of a message 39

40 Public Keys (RSA) Security of this system is based on our inability to take e-th roots. A factorization of n allows one to compute d from e. It is believed that finding d is as hard as factorizing n. So breaking this system would be as hard as factorizing n. 40

41 Public Keys (RSA) Security of this system is based on our inability to take e-th roots. A factorization of n allows one to compute d from e. It is believed that finding d is as hard as factorizing n. So breaking this system would be as hard as factorizing n. Advantages: compact, use in smart cards both encryption and signing 41

42 Public Keys (RSA) Security of this system is based on our inability to take e-th roots. A factorization of n allows one to compute d from e. It is believed that finding d is as hard as factorizing n. So breaking this system would be as hard as factorizing n. Advantages: compact, use in smart cards both encryption and signing Disadvantages: Computationally intensive only small messages man-in-the-middle attack (weakness of public keys) 42

43 RSA only encripts small messages B M [M, H(M) d ] For signing, you can just sign a hash-function of the message instead. A H(M)? (H(M) d ) e [M, H(M) d ] signing, sending, and checking the signature of a message 43

44 RSA only encripts small messages For encryption, one can use public-key systems to agree on a shared secret key for a more efficient encryption algorithm (like triple-des). A certain way of doing this is called PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) 44
