3-1 Recall: Security against Chosen-Plaintext Attacks (CPA) security parameter n N A m {0, 1} k Gen(1 n ) Enc k (m) b {0, 1} m 0, m 1 {0, 1} m 0 = m 1 Enc k (m b ) m {0, 1} Enc k (m) b

3-2 Recall: Security against Chosen-Plaintext Attacks (CPA) security parameter n N A m {0, 1} k Gen(1 n ) Enc k (m) b {0, 1} challenge phase guess m 0, m 1 {0, 1} m 0 = m 1 Enc k (m b ) m {0, 1} Enc k (m) b pre- & post-challenge query phase

3-3 Recall: Security against Chosen-Plaintext Attacks (CPA) Definition 3.22 Π = security (Gen, Enc, parameter Dec) is n (adaptively) N ind-cpa secure if for every PPT adversary Pr[PrivK A eav A,Π(n) m = {0, 1] def = 1} Pr[b = b ] 1/2 + negl(n) k Gen(1 n ) b {0, 1} Enc k (m) m 0, m 1 {0, 1} m 0 = m 1 Enc k (m b ) m {0, 1} Enc k (m) b

3-4 Recall: Security against Chosen-Plaintext Attacks (CPA) Definition 3.22 Π = security (Gen, Enc, parameter Dec) is n (adaptively) N ind-cpa secure if for every PPT adversary Pr[PrivK A eav A,Π(n) m = {0, 1] def = 1} Pr[b = b ] 1/2 + negl(n) k Gen(1 n ) b {0, 1} Enc k (m) m 0, m 1 {0, 1} m 0 = m 1 To construct a CPA secure Enc scheme k (m b ) we first need to introduce the notion of pseudorandom functions. But first we ll mention m yet {0, another 1} equivalent security notion. Enc k (m) b

4-1 Left-or-Right CPA Security security parameter n N A m 0, m 1 {0, 1} m 0 = m 1 Enc k (m b ) k Gen(1 n ) b {0, 1} b

4-2 Left-or-Right CPA Security security parameter n N A m 0, m 1 {0, 1} m 0 = m 1 Enc k (m b ) k Gen(1 n ) b {0, 1} b Definition 3.23 Π = (Gen, Enc, Dec) is (adaptively) LR-ind-CPA a secure if for every PPT adversary Pr[b = b ] 1/2 + negl(n) a in the book this is called CPA secure for multiple encryptions.

4-3 Left-or-Right CPA Security security parameter n N A m 0, m 1 {0, 1} m 0 = m 1 Enc k (m b ) k Gen(1 n ) b {0, 1} b security against LR-ind-CPA implies secrity against ind-cpa (trivial, tight reduction). other direction also holds, but reduction is not tight (loses a poly factor, namely # of queries, in advantage).

5 Recall: Pseudorandom Generators Definition 3.14 A (deterministic) poly-time algorithm G : {0, 1} n {0, 1} l(n) is a pseudorandom generator if 1. (Expansion: ) n : l(n) > n 2. (Pseudorandomness: ) {G(U n )} n N is a sequence of pseudorandom distributions, i.e., for all PPT alg. D Pr[D(Ul(n) ) = 1] Pr[D(G(U n )) = 1] = negl(n)

Pseudorandom Functions 3.5.1 Pseudorandom generator: efficiently expands a random seed so the output can t be efficiently distinguished from a uniformly random string. Pseudorandom function: a keyed, efficiently computable function that can t be efficiently distinguished from a random function. Definition 3.25 F : {0, 1} l key {0, 1} l in {0, 1} l out is a pseudorandom function (PRF) if 1. efficient: The key-length, input-length and output length are polynomial in the security parameter n, say l key (n) = l in (n) = l out (n) = n and F can be computed in polynomial time. 2. secure: F(k, ) with a random key k {0, 1} n cannot be distinguished from a random function {0, 1} n {0, 1} n. How do we actually formalize this? 6-2

Pseudorandom Functions 3.5.1 Let Func n denote the functions {0, 1} n {0, 1} n. Func n = 2 2n n, so f Func n requires 2 n n bits to describe. Can t even read description in poly(n) time (we could set l in = log(n), but that s not interesting). Idea: give distinguisher only oracle access to the function it needs to distinguish! Definition 3.25 F : {0, 1} l key {0, 1} l in {0, 1} l out is a pseudorandom function (PRF) if 1. efficient: The key-length, input-length and output length are polynomial in the security parameter n, say l key (n) = l in (n) = l out (n) = n and F can be computed in polynomial time. 2. secure: F(k, ) with a random key k {0, 1} n cannot be distinguished from a random function {0, 1} n {0, 1} n. How do we actually formalize this? 6-3

7-1 The PRF security game security parameter n N b {0, 1} k {0, 1} n f Func n

7-2 The PRF security game security parameter n N b {0, 1} k {0, 1} n x if b = 0 f Func n (x)

7-3 The PRF security game security parameter n N b {0, 1} k {0, 1} n if b = 1 x f Func n f(x)

7-4 The PRF security game security parameter n N b {0, 1} k {0, 1} n b f Func n

7-5 The PRF security game Definition 3.25 F : {0, 1} l key {0, 1} l in {0, 1} l out is a pseudorandom function (PRF) if 1. efficient: The key-length, input-length and output length l out are polynomial in the security parameter n, say l key (n) = l in (n) = l out (n) = n and F can be computed in polynomial time. 2. secure: for every PPT D Pr[b = 1 b = 0] Pr[b = 1 b = 1] = Pr n[df(k, ) = 1] Pr [D f( ) = 1] k {0,1} f Func n = negl(n)

Pseudorandom Permutations Let Perm n Func n denote all permutations over {0, 1} n. Perm n = 2 n! We can define pseudorandom permutations almost exactly like pseudorandom functions. 8-1

Pseudorandom Permutations Let Perm n Func n denote all permutations over {0, 1} n. Perm n = 2 n! We can define pseudorandom permutations almost exactly like pseudorandom functions. Definition F : {0, 1} l key {0, 1} l in {0, 1} l out is a pseudorandom permutation (PRF) if 1. efficient: defined like for PRFs. 2. ( ) is a permutation (so in particular, l in (n) = l out (n) for all n). 3. secure: for every PPT D Pr [D F(k, ) = 1] Pr [D f( ) = 1] k {0,1} l key (n) f Perm lin (n) = negl(n) 8-2

Pseudorandom Permutations Let Perm n Func n denote all permutations over {0, 1} n. Perm n = 2 n! We can define pseudorandom permutations almost exactly like pseudorandom functions. Proposition 3.27 If F is a pseudorandom permutation and l in (n) n (actually, l in (n) w(log(n)) is sufficient), then F is also a pseudorandom function. Follows from the PRP/PRF switching lemma : the advantage in distinguishing a random permutation over {0, 1} m from a random function {0, 1} m {0, 1} m making q queries is q2 2 m. 8-3

9-1 Strong Pseudorandom Permutations For a permutation also inverse queries are well defined. A PRP that is secure even when allowing inverse queries is called a strong PRP. Definition 3.28 F : {0, 1} l key {0, 1} l in {0, 1} l out is a strong pseudorandom permutation if for every k, F(k, ) is a permutation where ( ) and F 1 k ( ) can be efficiently computed, and for every PPT D Pr [D F(k, ),F 1 (k, ) = 1] k {0,1} l key (n) Pr f Perm lin (n) [D f( ),f 1 ( ) = 1] = negl(n)

9-2 Strong Pseudorandom Permutations For a permutation also inverse queries are well defined. A PRP that is secure even when allowing inverse queries is called a strong PRP. In practice, block-ciphers are designed to be strong PRPs, but not in an asymptotic sense, but for fixed key-lenghts and block-size, and assuming that brute-force is the best attack to distinguish. DES, 1975 l in = 64, l key = 56 AES, 1998 l in = 128, l key {128, 192, 256}

10-1 CPA secure encryption from PRFn/PRPs 3.5.2 For a strong PRP F : {0, 1} n {0, 1} {0, 1} n consider Enc(m) = (m), Dec k (c) = F 1 k (c)

10-2 CPA secure encryption from PRFn/PRPs 3.5.2 For a strong PRP F : {0, 1} n {0, 1} {0, 1} n consider Enc(m) = (m), Dec k (c) = F 1 k (c) Single encryption (m) doesn t leak anything about m, but not CPA secure because the scheme is deterministic, so m = m implies (m) = (m ).

10-3 CPA secure encryption from PRFn/PRPs 3.5.2 Construction 3.30 F : {0, 1} n {0, 1} n {0, 1} n Enc(k, m {0, 1} n ) : sample r {0, 1} n, output c := r, m (r) Dec(c = r, s ) : output m := (r) s Enc k (m) $ r F k m r s F m k Dec k ( r, s )

10-4 CPA secure encryption from PRFn/PRPs 3.5.2 Construction 3.30 F : {0, 1} n {0, 1} n {0, 1} n Enc(k, m {0, 1} n ) : sample r {0, 1} n, output c := r, m (r) Dec(c = r, s ) : output m := (r) s Enc k (m) $ r F k m F k Dec k ( r, s ) Theorem 3.31 If F is a PRF then Construction 3.30 is a CPA-secure private-key encryption scheme for messages of length m. r s m

Proof of Thm. 3.31 Theorem 3.31 If F is a PRF then Construction 3.30 is a CPA-secure private-key encryption scheme for messages of length m. Enc k (m) $ r F k m r s F k Dec k ( r, s ) m 11-1

11-2 $ r Proof of Thm. 3.31 Theorem 3.31 If F is a PRF then Construction 3.30 is a CPA-secure private-key encryption scheme for messages of length m. Enc k (m) f m r s Dec k ( r, s ) Proof sketch: Consider new scheme Π, where, k {0, 1} n is replaced with a random function f Func n. If F is a PRF then no adversary can distinguish original construction from Π (with non-negligible probability). Π is CPA seucre: let r, s denote the challenge ciphertext. If r is was not used in any other the other q(n) encryptions then challenge ciphertext r, s = f(r ) m b perfectly hides b. Prob. that r has been used before is q(n)/2 n = negl(n). f m

Block-Cipher Modes of Operation 3.6.2 Construction 3.30, where Enc k (m) = r, (r) m, only works for messages of fixed length n. Can encrypt long message m = m 1,..., m l {0, 1} n l as Enc k (m 1 ),..., Enc k (m l ) but the ciphertext is twice as long as the message and it uses a lot of randomness. block-cipher modes of operation provide a way of encrypting arbitrary length messages with less (ciphertext size, randomness) overhead. In general, the term mode of operation refers to a construction which turns a simple building block (e.g. PRF,PRP/block-cipher,hash function) into a useful cryptographic scheme (e.g. encryption/authentication for arbitrary length messages). 12

Plaintext length does not need to be multiple of n, can be capped at any point. Unlike for CBC, the stateful variant (where last y l is used as IV for next encryption) is secure (synchronized stream-cipher mode). Still sequential like CBC, but the y i can be computed before the m i are known. Computing c i from y i, m i is extremely fast and parallelizable.

Proof sketch Define scheme Π where we replace, k {0, 1} n with random function f Func n. If adversary can distinguish Π from actual scheme we have a distinguisher for the PRF. The security of Π can now be proven using information theoretic arguments: if the inputs ctr + 1,..., ctr + l used in the challenge ciphertext do not collide with any other inputs ever used, encryption is perfect. So we can bound the advantage by the probability of a collision. The collision probability is q(n) 2 /2 n where q(n) is the total number of encrypted blocks. As q(n) = poly(n) this probability is negligible.

So the concrete security is only around 2 n/2, one thus should use PRFs with large enough blocks size. n = 64 like in DES is not enough as 2 n/2 is only 34GB of plaintexts. AES where n = 128 is plenty. 16-4

17-1 Chosen-Ciphertext Attacks 3.7 A chosen-ciphertext (CCA) attack is defined like a chosen-plaintext attack (CPA), but the attacker is not only given access to an encryption oracle Enc k ( ), but additionally given access to a decryption oracle Dec k ( ).

18-2 CCA Security of the schemes we ve seen so far None of the schemes we ve seen so far is CCA secure, consider e.g. the simple scheme Enc k (m) := r, (r) m Assume adversary is given the challenge ciphertext r, s := (r) m b. For any x 0 n he can ask for s x (r) }{{} =m b x := Dec k ( r, s x ) and learns m b x, and thus b.

For any x 0 n he can ask for s x (r) }{{} =m b x := Dec k ( r, s x ) and learns m b x, and thus b. CCA security implies/requires non-malleability. Very informally, this means that a ciphertext cannot be changed into a ciphertext of a related message. 18-3

19-1 Padding-Oracle Attacks 3.7.2 We ll discuss an attack where the attacker launches a very weak (and realistic) form of chosen-ciphertext attack. He only needs to learn if the chosen ciphertexts are valid or not.

19-2 Padding-Oracle Attacks 3.7.2 We ll discuss an attack where the attacker launches a very weak (and realistic) form of chosen-ciphertext attack. He only needs to learn if the chosen ciphertexts are valid or not. PKCS#5 padding CBC can only encrypt messages whose length is a multiple of the blocksize of the underlying PRP (typically 16 bytes). If the message does not have this property, it needs to be padded to the right length. Assume m is L bytes long and let b := 16 L mod 16 (so L + b is a multiple of 16) To pad m, just append b times the value b to the end (except if b = 0 then add it 16 times) e.g. Hello Hello BBBBBBBBBBB (here B is 11 in hexadecimal). HelloWorld HelloWorld 666666 abcdefghijklmnop abcdefghijklmnop 0000000000000000

Padding-Oracle Attacks 3.7.2 We ll discuss an attack where the attacker launches a very weak (and realistic) form of chosen-ciphertext attack. He only needs to learn if the chosen ciphertexts are valid or not. To remove padding, read last byte 0xb, then check if last b bytes are all 0xb, if yes, remove last b bytes and output remaining string, otherwise output padding error.
