2 Topics Probability Theory Perfect Secrecy Information Theory
3 Some Terms (P,C,K,E,D) Computational Security Computational effort required to break cryptosystem Provable Security Relative to another, difficult problem Unconditional Security Oscar (adversary) can do whatever he wants, as much as he wants 3
4 Probability Review, pg. 1 A random variable (event) is an experiment whose outcomes are mapped to real numbers. Probability: We denote p X (x) = Pr(X = x). For a subset A, Joint Probability: Sometimes we want to consider more than two events at the same time, in which we case we lump them together into a joint random variable, e.g. Z = (X,Y). p X, Y p(a) xa X,Y x, y PrX x, Y y Independence: We say that two events are independent if p X,Y p X x X,Y x, y p xp y X Y
5 Probability Review, pg. Conditional Probability: We will often ask questions about the probability of events Y given that we have observed X=x. In particular, we define the conditional probability of Y=y given X=x by p Y (y x) p p XY X (x, y) (x) Independence: We immediately get p Y (y x) p Y (y) Bayes s Theorem: If p X (x)>0 and p Y (y)>0 then p X (x y) = p X (x)p Y (y x) p Y (y)
6 Example
7 Perfect Secrecy Defined A cryptosystem (P,C,K,E,D) has perfect secrecy if Ciphertext yields no information about plaintext 7
8 Perfect Secrecy p(m): (a priori) probability that plaintext M is sent. p(c): probability that ciphertext C was received. P(M C): probability that plaintext M was sent, given that ciphertext C was received. P(C M): probability that ciphertext C was received, given that plaintext M was sent. P(K): probability that key K was chosen. A cryptosystem provides perfect secrecy if p(m C) = p(m) for all M and C with p(c) > 0
9 Implications Perfect secrecy means exactly that the random variables on M and C are independent. Ciphertext C gives us no information about M Proof using Bayes s theorem A cryptosystem provides perfect secrecy if and only if p(c M) = p(c) for all M;C with p(m) > 0 and p(c) > 0
10 Theorem If a cryptosystem has perfect secrecy, then K M. Proof idea? There is some message M such that for a given ciphertext C; no key K encrypts M to C P(C M)=0 but P(C)>0
11 One-Time Pad The one-time pad, which is a provably secure cryptosystem, was developed by Gilbert Vernam in The message is represented as a binary string (a sequence of 0 s and 1 s using a coding mechanism such as ASCII coding. The key is a truly random sequence of 0 s and 1 s of the same length as the message. The encryption is done by adding the key to the message modulo, bit by bit. This process is often called exclusive or, and is denoted by XOR. The symbol is used
12 exclusive or Operator a b c = a b
13 Example message = IF then its ASCII code =( ) key = ( ) Encryption: plaintext key ciphertext Decryption: ciphertext key plaintext
14 OTP Security The security depends on the randomness of the key. It is hard to define randomness. In cryptographic context, we seek two fundamental properties in a binary random key sequence: Unpredictability: Balanced (Equal Distribution):
15 OTP Security Unpredictability: Independent of the number of the bits of a sequence observed, the probability of guessing the next bit is not better than ½. Therefore, the probability of a certain bit being 1 or 0 is exactly equal to ½. Balanced (Equal Distribution): The number of 1 s and 0 s should be equal.
16 Entropy Want to be able to measure the uncertainty or information of some random variable X. Entropy Information theory captures the amount of information in a piece of text. How much information or uncertainty is in a cryptosystem? 16
17 Entropy and Source Coding Theory There is a close relationship between entropy and representing information. Entropy captures the notion of how many Yes-No questions are needed to accurately identify a piece of information that is, how many bits are needed! One of the main focus areas in the field of information theory is on the issue of source-coding: How to efficiently ( Compress ) information into as few bits as possible. One such technique, Huffman Coding.
18 Entropy and Uncertainty We are concerned with how much uncertainty a random event has, but how do we define or measure uncertainty? We want our measure to have the following properties: 1. To each set of nonnegative numbers p p1,p,, pn with p1 p pn 1, we define the uncertainty by. H(p). H(p) should be a continuous function: A slight change in p should not drastically change H(p) H 1 for all n>0. Uncertainty increases n,, n H, n1, n1 when there are more outcomes.
19 Entropy, pg. We define the entropy of a random variable by Example: Consider a fair coin toss. There are two outcomes, with probability ½ each. The entropy is 1 H X log 1 x p x 1 log 1bit Example: Consider a non-fair coin toss X with probability p of getting heads and 1-p of getting tails. The entropy is log 1 p(x) X plog p 1 plog 1 p H
20 Entropy, pg. 3 Entropy may be thought of as the number of yes-no questions needed to accurately determine the outcome of a random event. Example: Flip two coins, and let X be the number of heads. The possibilities are {0,1,} and the probabilities are {1/4, 1/, 1/4}. The Entropy is 1 log log 1 1 log bits So how can we relate this to questions? Half the time you needed one question, half you needed two
