  2. DES keys • Given one plaintext/cyphertext (m,c) pair, there is a very high probability that only one key will satisfy c = DES(m,k) • Consider DES as a collection of permutations π(1) … π(256). • If πi are independent permutations then  (m, k) : Pr [  k1≠ k : DES(m, k1) = DES(m, k) ] = 256 . 2-64 = 2-8 = 0.39% • Thus given one (m, c) pair the key is uniquely determined. The problem is to find k. lecture 5 :: attacks on DES

  3. attacks on DES • Exhaustive key search • For a strong n-bit block cypher with a j-bit key, the key can be recovered on average in 2j-1 operations given a small number (< (j+4)/n) of plaintext-cyphertext pairs • For DES, j = 56 bits, n = 64 bits so exhaustive search is expected to yield the key in 255 operations • Cyphertext-only DES key search • Suppose DES is used to encrypt 8 x 8 ASCII characters (=64 bits) per block, with one bit being a parity bit. • Trial decryption yields all 8 parity bits valid with probability 2-8 • and thus for t blocks 2-8t • Over 256 keys, this leads to probability of correct key being 2-56 / 2-8t • thus only t ~ 10 blocks are enough lecture 5 :: attacks on DES

  4. reducing effort in attacks on DES • DES is a Feistel network, thus: DES(m, k) = DES(m, k) • This is called the “Complementation Property” • So for a CPA: if c1 = DES(m, k) and c2 = DES(m, k) then if DES(m, k1) ≠ c1 nor c2 then k ≠ k1 nor k1 • Search space is reduced by half lecture 5 :: attacks on DES

  5. 2DES • Double encryption with DES (2DES) is bad 2DESk1k2(m) = Ek1(Ek2(m)) • 2DES is vulnerable to “meet in the middle” attack • i.e. for a fixed message, m, create a table: Ek(m) for all k є {0,1}56 • Then for c = Ek1k2(m) try all k until Dk1(c) is in the table • Thus 2DES can be broken on average in 256 operations using 256 memory slots (a time-space tradeoff)- not good for 112 bits of key (56 + 56) lecture 5 :: attacks on DES

  6. 3DES • Two-key Triple DES (3DES): DES three times, two keys (112 bits) 3DESk1k2(m) = Ek1(Dk2(Ek1(m))) • The strength of DES (& 3DES) is that it does not form a group DESk1(DESk2(m)) ≠ DESk3(m) • Consider the time-space tradeoff on 2TDES: • for time 2(56+64)/s and space s, we can recover k1 and k2 in 2TDES • If s > 28 then we can do better than exhaustive search. lecture 5 :: attacks on DES

  7. DESX • A modification of DES to avoid exhaustive key search is DESX k1 = 56 bits (DES key) k2 = 64 bits (whitening key) k3 = h(k2, k3) = 64 bits DESXk1k2k3(m) = k3  Ek1 (m  k2) • Whitening key gives greater resilience to brute force attacks • Given j plaintext / cyphertext pairs, the effective key size is greater than or equal to |k| + n -1 - log j = 56 + 64 - 1 - log j = 119 - log j ≥ 100 bits lecture 5 :: attacks on DES

  8. DES round functions • The function F(x,ki): {0,1}32 x {0,1}48→ {0,1}32 x (32 bits) ki (48 bits) expansion 48 bits b 48 bits 8 x S-boxes (4x16) (substitution) nonlinear confuse 6 bits x 8 s1 s8 4 bits x 8 32 bits P-box (permutation) diffuse P lecture 5 :: attacks on DES

  9. differential cryptanalysis • This method is a better-than-brute-force approach to attacking DES with (plaintext, cyphertext) pairs (CPA). • Involves looking at the XOR of two texts. • We consider any s-box function F(x, ki) : • Define the difference measure (on input) as Δ = b1  b2 = (x1  ki)  (x2 ki) = x1  x2 • The input XOR (b1  b2) does not depend on the key but the output XOR (e1  e2) does. b1, b2 (2x6 bits) S box e1, e2 (2x4 bits) lecture 5 :: attacks on DES

  10. differential cryptanalysis • Now define the set Δ(b) consisting of ordered pairs (b1 , b2) having input XOR b: Δ(b) = {(b1, b2) є {0,1}6 | b1  b2 = b} where | Δ(b) | = 26 = 64 • Take the example where b = 110100, then if we consider the first S-box the pairs might be Δ(b) = {(000000,110100), (000001,110101), … (111111,001011)}    110100 110100 110100 lecture 5 :: attacks on DES

  11. differential cryptanalysis • If this is done for all 64 pairs in Δ(b) then the following distribution of output XORs (e1  e2) is obtained: (e1  e2) 0000 0001 0010 0011 … 1111 0 8 16 6 6 • Now suppose that (b1  b2) = 110100 and (e1  e2) = 0001, then (b1 , b2) must be one of eight possible pairs, hence b1 is one of 16 possible values. • Since x1 is known (this is a KPA), the 6 bits of the key XORed with x1 to give b1 are one of 16 possible values. • This procedure is repeated for different Δs to make deductions about the key bits and eventually recover the key. lecture 5 :: attacks on DES

  12. linear cryptanalysis • Consider the cyphertext derived by combining certain bits from the plaintext and key: • The cypher can easily be broken, for example, if c[1] = p[4]  p[17]  k[5]  k[3] i.e. k[3]  k[5] = c[1]  p[4]  p[17] • This is because the cypher is linear. plaintext key cyphertext lecture 5 :: attacks on DES

  13. linear cryptanalysis • If we use the following notation: p[i1, …, iu] = p[i1]  p[i2]  …  p[iu] (the xor bits of the plaintext) • Also define ρ = Pr [ p[i1, …, iu]  c[j1, …, jv] = k [s1, …, sw] ] • Now if |ρ - 0.5| is large, then we can guess k [s1, … , sw] • Optimally for a break|ρ - 0.5|= 0.5 (ρ = 0 or 1)(perfect cipher would have ρ = 0.5) lecture 5 :: attacks on DES

  14. algorithm to recover key bits • Given R plaintext, cyphertext pairs (R is large): if ρ > 0.5 then k[s1, …, sw] = majority{p[i1, …, iu]}  c[j1, …, jv]} over all plaintext cyphertext pairs if ρ < 0.5 then k[s1, …, sw] = minority = 1  majority • (*) Fact: if given R ≥ (ρ - 0.5)-2 then the correct value of k[s1, … , sw] is obtained with probability > 97.7% lecture 5 :: attacks on DES

  15. linear cryptanalysis of DES • In 1993, Matsui made the following observation about DES which approximates the 5th S-box as a linear function: ρ5 = Pr[ x[4] = S5(x)[0,1,2,3] ] = 12/64 = 0.19 (Note x є {0,1}6) • For the ith DES round Pri [ri[15]  F(ri , ki)[7,18,24,29] = ki[22]] = ρ5 = 0.19 (ri is the ith round right hand part) where the bits have been chosen to undo the permutation. lecture 5 :: attacks on DES

  16. attack on 3 round DES left half of plaintext right half of plaintext l0 r0 From the first round we can write Pr[r1[7,18,24,29] xor l0[7,18,24,29] xor r0[15] = k0[22]] = ρ5 From the last round we can write Pr[r1[7,18,24,29] xor cr[7,18,24,29] xor cl[15] = k2[22]] = ρ5 XORing together gives Pr[l0[7,18,24,29] xor cr[7,18,24,29] xor cl[15] xor r0[15] = k0[22] xor k2[22]] = ρ5 .ρ5 + (1- ρ5)2 = 0.7 Using the fact (*) we can find k0[22] xor k2[22] using R = (0.7 - 0.5)-2 = 25 plaintext/cyphertext pairs F(r0,k0) l1 r1 F(r1,k1) l2 r2 F(r2,k2) l3 r3 left half of cyphertext right half of cyphertext lecture 5 :: attacks on DES

AES • Rijndael (pronounced “rain-dahl”) announced Oct 2000 • Operates on 128 bit blocks • Key length is variable: 128, 192 or 256 bits • An SP-network • Uses a single S-box which acts on a byte input to give a byte output (think of as a 256 byte lookup table): S(x) = M(1/x) + b over the field GF(28) (M is a matrix, b is a constant) • Construction gives tight differential and linear bounds. lecture 5 :: attacks on DES
