RSA Encryption • 1978: Rivest, Shamir, Adelman • Public key encryption • Remains secure to date • Encryption key (e) and decryption key (d) are interchangeable. • The two keys, e and d, are carefully chosen such that • C = Pe mod n (encryption) and • P = Cd mod n (decryption). V. Sawma, Computer Security
Euler Totient Function • (n): the number of positive integers less than n and are relatively prime to n. • If n is prime: (n) = n – 1 • When n = p * q, where both p and q are primes and p q: (n) = (p) * (q) = (p – 1) * (q – 1) V. Sawma, Computer Security
RSA Encryption • Public key = (e, n) • Private key = (d, n) • Step 1: Choose n, p, & q n = p * q, where both p and q are primes and p q Example: n = 143 = p * q = 11 * 13 V. Sawma, Computer Security
RSA Encryption • Step 2: Choose e. e is relatively prime to (n). That is, e is relatively prime to (p-1)*(q-1). Example: e = 17, which is relatively prime to 10*12. • Step 3: Compute d. d is the inverse of e mod (p-1)*(q-1). Use the algorithm on page 81 to compute inverses. Note: A Java implementation of the algorithm is available at the class page. Example: d = e-1 mod (p-1)*(q-1) = 17-1 mod 120= 113 V. Sawma, Computer Security
RSA Encryption • An example: P = 7 Let n = 143, p = 11, q = 13, and e = 11. Note: e is relprime to (p-1)*(q-1). Then d = 11 Note: d is the inverse of e mod (p-1)*(q-1). Encryption: C = Pe mod n = 711 mod 143 = 106 Decryption: P = Cd mod n = 10611 mod 143 = 7 V. Sawma, Computer Security
RSA Encryption • Another example: P = 7 Let n = 143, p = 11, q = 13, and e = 17. Note: e is relprime to (p-1)*(q-1). Then d = 113 Note: d is the inverse of e mod (p-1)*(q-1). Encryption: C = Pe mod n = 717 mod 143 = 50 Decryption: P = Cd mod n = 50113 mod 143 = 7 V. Sawma, Computer Security
RSA Encryption • Still another example: P = 55 Let n = 285, p = 19, q = 17, and e = 37. Note: e is relprime to (p-1)*(q-1), 288. d = 109 Note: d is the inverse of e mod (p-1)*(q-1). Encryption: C = Pe mod n = 5537 mod 288 = 55 Decryption: P = Cd mod n = 55109 mod 288 = 55 V. Sawma, Computer Security
RSA Encryption • The cryptographer’s job: • Find three primes, p, q, and e, where p * q = n and e is relatively prime to (p-1)*(q-1). • Compute d based on e and n. The challenge: p, q, and e must be large enough primes. V. Sawma, Computer Security
RSA Encryption • The cryptanalyst’s job: P = Cd mod n • Available: (e, n). • Find two primes p and q, such that p * q = n and e is relatively prime to (p-1)*(q-1). • Compute d: d = inverse (e, (p-1)*(q-1)) Q: Where’s the secrecy? Q: Given n and a prime e, how hard is it to find two distinct primes, p and q, such that p*q = n and (p-1)*(q-1) is relprime to e? V. Sawma, Computer Security
Example Using RSA Example: Plain Text P = N O W || ASCII Text P = 78 79 87 p = 13, q = 17 n = p x q = 221 e = relprime to (p-1)(q-1) = relprime to 192 = 19 d = inverse of e mod (p-1)(q-1) = inverse of 19 mod 192 = 19^(190) mod 192 = 91 Encryption: P^e mod n N: 78 ^ 19 mod 221: 65 O: 79 ^ 19 mod 221: 209 W: 87 ^ 19 mod 221: 178 Decryption: P = C^d mod n 65 ^ 91 mod 221: 78 => N 209: ^ 91 mod 221: 79 => O 178: ^ 91 mod 221: 87 => W V.
