  1. Cryptographic Security CS5204 – Operating Systems

  2. Security Considerations • Factors: • reliance on unknown, vulnerable intermediaries (e.g., Internet routers) • parties may have no personal or organizational relationship (e.g., e-commerce) • use of automated surrogates (e.g., agents) • Goals: • privacy/confidentiality - information not disclosed to unauthorized entities • integrity - information not altered deliberately or accidentally • authentication - validation of identity of source of information • non-repudiation - source of information can be objectively established • Threats: • replay of messages • interference (inserting bogus messages) • corrupting messages CS 5204 – Operating Systems

  3. Cryptography CA M’ public information C M M E D Kd Ke Decryption key Encryption key • Forms of attack: • ciphertext­only • known­plaintext • chosen­plaintext CS 5204 – Operating Systems

  4. Forms of Cryptosystems • Private Key (symmetric) : • A single key is used for both encryption and decryption. • Key distribution problem ­ a secure channel is needed to transmit the key before secure communication can take place over an unsecure channel. • Public Key (asymmetric): • The encryption procedure (key) is public while the decryption procedure (key) is private. • Requirements: • 1. For every message M, D(E(M)) = M • 2. E and D can be efficiently applied to M • 3. It is impractical to derive D from E. CS 5204 – Operating Systems

  5. (1) A B (2) Combining Public/Private Key Systems Public key encryption is more expensive than symmetric key encryption For efficiency, combine the two approaches • Use public key encryption for authentication; once authenticated, transfer a shared secret symmetric key • (2) Use symmetric key for encrypting subsequent data transmissions CS 5204 – Operating Systems

  8. RSA Method 1. Choose two large (100 digit) prime numbers, p and q,and set n = p x q 2. Choose any large integer, d, so that: GCD( d, ((p­1)x(q­1)) = 1 3. Find e so that: e x d = 1 (modulo (p­1)x(q­1)) Example: 1. p = 5, q = 11 and n = 55. (p­1)x(q­1) = 4 x 10 = 40 2. A valid d is 23 since GCD(40, 23) = 1 3. Then e = 7 since: 23 x 7 = 161 modulo 40 = 1 CS 5204 – Operating Systems

  9. File/message hash process digest (Large) Document Integrity • Digest properties: • fixed-length, condensation of the source • efficient to compute • irreversible - computationally infeasible for the original source to be reconstructed from the digest • unique - difficult to find two different sources that map to the same digest (collision resistance) • Also know as: fingerprint • Examples: MD5 (128 bits), SHA-1 (160 bits) CS 5204 – Operating Systems

  12. Digital Signatures (Public Key) • Requirements: • unforgable and unique • receiver: knows that a message came from the sender (authenticity) • sender: cannot deny authorship( non-repudiation) • message integrity • sender & receiver: message contents preserved (integrity)(e.g., cannot cut­and­paste a signature into a message) • Public Key System: • sender, A: (EA : public, DA : private) • receiver, B: (EB : public, DB : private) • sender(A) ­­­­ C= EB (DA (M)) ­­­> receiver(B) • receiver(B) ­­ M = EA (DB (C)) ­­­> M CS 5204 – Operating Systems

  13. Secure Communication (Public Key) Handshaking EPKB, (IA, A) EPKA (IA, IB) B A EPKB (IB) IA, IB are “nonces” nonces can be included in each subsequent message PKB: public key of B; PKA: public key of A; CS 5204 – Operating Systems
