What is Cryptographic Algorithm? • Cryptography – process of scrambling information in a manner that is difficult to unscramble, and making scrambled information intelligible. • Cryptographic Algorithm – any algorithm written to achieve cryptography, and consequently confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. • Types of Cryptographic Algorithms • Symmetric Key Algorithms – DES, Triple DES • Asymmetric Key Algorithms – RSA • Cryptographic Hash Algorithms – MD5, SHA-1
Cryptographic Hash Algorithm • Hashing Algorithm – a protocol for using the hash function, specifying how the message will be broken up and how the results from previous message blocks are chained together. • Hash Function • is effectively computable. • compresses information of arbitrary length to some information of fixed length (“digital fingerprint”). • possesses Avalanche (Ripple Effect) – when a input is changed slightly, output changes significantly. Hash function 0101
How hashes are used? • Digitally Signed Documents
How hashes are used? (…cont) • Hashing Passwords
How hashes are used? (…cont) • Verifying File Integrity • If you have just downloaded a large piece of software from a website, how do you know that you've received it correctly and that it has not been tampered with? • The website publishes the hash values of its download bundles, and you can compare a published hash (e.g.MD5 sum) with checksum of downloaded file. • Utilities Unix OS – includes MD5 utilities in their distribution packages. Windows – third party applications like FastSum (http://www.fastsum.com/)
When a Cryptographic Hash Function is Secured? When it satisfies following three properties • Preimage-resistance: “Given V, find M such that h(M)= V” is infeasible. • 2nd-preimage-resistance: “Given M, find M’M such that h(M’)=h(M)” is infeasible. • Collision-resistance: “Find M’M such that h(M’)=h(M)” is infeasible.
MD5 Description of MD5 • MD5 (message digest algorithm) – developed at RSA Data Security, Inc. • Improved version of MD4. • Takes any message and outputs an 128-bit hash. • A message is padded so the length is multiple of 512. • Each 512-bit block is processed individually.
MD5 Description of MD5 (…cont) • The 512-bit block is divided into 16 32-bit words. • There are 4 32-bit registers A, B, C and D. These are initially loaded with IV0 and carry the hash values from one 512-bit block to the next. • It works in an iterative (chaining) process: Hi+1 = f(Hi,Mi) IV0=H0 where Mi is a 512-bit block.
MD5 Hash Chaining M1 M2 Mn … f f f H0=IV0 fixed Hn = H H2 H1 Mi 512 bits Hi 128 bits
MD5 One Small Step • A,B,C,D – 4 registers. • F– nonlinear function; there are total 4 functions and one function is used in each round. • Each round has 16 steps (so, total 64 steps). • Mi– 32-bit block of the message input. (512/16=32) • Ki– 32-bit constant, different for each step. • s– Left bit rotation by s places; s varies for each operation. • – Addition modulo 232.
MD5 The Rounds and Non-Linear Functions • Mi=(w0,…,w15) • For fixed i, 4 consecutive steps will yield ai+4 =bi +((ai +Fi(bi,ci,di)+wi+ki)<<<si) di+4=ai+((di+Fi+1(ai,bi,ci)+wi+1+ki+1)<<<si+1) ci+4=di+((ci+Fi+2(di,ai,bi)+wi+2+ki+2)<<<si+2) bi+4=ci+((bi+Fi+3(ci,di,ai)+wi+3+ki+3)<<<si+3) ki and si are predefined step dependant constants • Fi changes every 16 steps Fi(X,Y,Z)=(X^Y)ν(~X^Z) 0 ≤ i ≤ 15 Fi(X,Y,Z)=(X^Z)ν(Y^~Z) 16 ≤ i ≤ 31 Fi(X,Y,Z)=X Y Z 32 ≤ i ≤ 47 Fi(X,Y,Z)=Y (X ν ~Z) 48 ≤ i ≤ 63
MD5 Finding Collisions • MD5 does 64 rounds of scrambling, so a brute force attack to find a collision requires at most 264 operations. Brute Force Attack – method of defeating cryptographic scheme by exhaustively working through all possible keys. • Xiaoyun Wang and her team – have an attack that requires 239 operations. This attack takes at most an hour and 5 minutes on a IBM P690 (supercomputer). • Vlastimil Klima and his team – have an attack that can find collisions on a Notebook PC within a minute.
MD5 - Wang Wang’s Method (August 2004) • Use of Differential Cryptanalysis: find a statistical correlation between key values and cipher transformations (typically Exclusive-OR of text pairs), then use sufficient defined plaintext to develop the key. • Find a particular M such that a particular H occurs with high probability. • In collision case, want H=0.
MD5 - Wang Differentials • The attack uses two types of differentials • XOR differential: ΔX=X X’ • Modular differential: ΔX=X-X’ mod 232 • For M=(m0,…,mn-1) and M’=(m’0,…m’n-1) the full hash differential is for a message of length 512n bits ΔH0 -> ΔH1 ->…-> ΔHn= ΔH If M and M’ are a collision pair ΔH=0 • Round Differentials • ΔHi -> ΔHi+1 can be split into round differentials as well • ΔHiΔR0ΔR1ΔR2ΔR3 = ΔHi+1 P0 P1 P2 P3
MD5 - Wang Probability • Each of these differentials has a probabilistic relationship with the next. • Ideally, we’d like to be able to set up 2 messages where we can guarantee with probability 1 that ΔH=0. • This can be assured by modifying M so the first round differential will be what you want. • More modifications will improve the probability for the second, third and fourth round differentials.
MD5 - Wang The Attack with Message Modification • Find M=(M0,M1) and M’=(M’0,M’1) • ΔM0=M’0-M0=(0,0,0,0,231,0,0,0,0,0,0,215,0,0,231,0) • ΔM1=M’1-M1=(0,0,0,0,231,0,0,0,0,0,0,-215,0,0,231,0) • M’0 differ in the 5th, 12th and 15th words only. • Same for M1 and M’1. • Message Modification Method – modify a message word so that the first non-zero step differential (after 5th step) is anything you want with probability 1. • Modify multiple words to guarantee the round differentials with high probability.
MD5 - Wang Results - Actual Collisions M0 = 2dd31d1 c4eee6c5 69a3d69 5cf9af98 87b5ca2f ab7e4612 3e580440 897ffbb8 634ad55 2b3f409 8388e483 5a417125 e8255108 9fc9cdf7 f2bd1dd9 5b3c3780 M1 = d11d0b96 9c7b41dc f497d8e4 d555655a c79a7335 cfdebf0 66f12930 8fb109d1 797f2775 eb5cd530 baade822 5c15cc79 ddcb74ed 6dd3c55f d80a9bb1 e3a7cc35 M0’ = 2dd31d1 c4eee6c5 69a3d69 5cf9af98 7b5ca2f ab7e4612 3e580440 897ffbb8 634ad55 2b3f409 8388e483 5a41f125 e8255108 9fc9cdf7 72bd1dd9 5b3c3780 M1’ = d11d0b96 9c7b41dc f497d8e4 d555655a 479a7335 cfdebf0 66f12930 8fb109d1 797f2775 eb5cd530 baade822 5c154c79 ddcb74ed 6dd3c55f 580a9bb1 e3a7cc35 Hash: 9603161f a30f9dbf 9f65ffbc f41fc7ef
MD5 - Klima Klima’s Method (March 2006) • “Tunnels in Hash Functions: MD5 Collisions Within a Minute” • Tunnel – a complex function written to find collision which takes into account individual bit of message instead of word. • Tunnels replaces multi-message modification method, and exponentially accelerate collision search. • Several tunnels are written in MD5 hash function. • Also uses ‘differential path’ – the effect of a single bit change tracked through the hash algorithm.

SHA-1 Description of SHA-1 • SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) – developed by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). • Improved version of SHA-0. • Takes any message of length of less than 264 bits and outputs 160 bit hash. • A message is padded so the length is multiple of 512. • Each 512-bit block is processed individually.
SHA-1 Description of SHA-1 (…cont) • The 512-bit block is divided into 16 32 bit words. • There are 5 32-bit registers A, B, C, D and E. These are initially loaded with IV0 and carry the hash value from one 512-bit block to the next. • It works in an iterative process.
SHA-1 Hash Chaining 512 bit blocks Expansion Function 2560 bits Initialization vector (fixed) Compression Function 160 bit hash
SHA-1 One Small Step • There are 4 rounds and each round has 20 steps (so, total 80 steps). • A,B,C,D,E – 5 registers. • F – Non-linear function. • Wt – 32-bit word derived from current 512-bit input block. • t – Round number, 0 ≤ t ≤ 79. • Kt – 32-bit constant, different for each step. • s – left bit rotation by s places; s varies for each step. • – Addition modulo 232.
SHA-1 SHA-1 Functions • Expansion Function: Wi = (Wi-3 Wi-8 Wi-14 Wi-16) << 1 16 ≤i ≤79 • F Functions: Ft(B,C,D)=(B^C)v(~B^D) 0 ≤ t ≤ 19 Ft(B,C,D)=B C D 20 ≤ t ≤ 39 Ft(B,C,D)=(B^C)v(B^D)v(C^D) 40 ≤ t ≤ 59 Ft(B,C,D)= B C D 60 ≤ t ≤ 79
SHA-1 Finding Collisions • SHA-1 does 80 rounds of scrambling, so a brute force attack to find a collision requires at most 280 operations. • Xiaoyun Wang and her team – have an attack that requires 269 operations (i.e. 2000 times faster than 280 brute force).
SHA-1 Wang’s Method(February 2005) Wang found following short-comings in SHA-1 • The message expansion does not offer enough avalanche effect in terms of spreading the input differences. • The structure of all the step functions is unexpectedly weak. Because of the simple step operation, the certain step properties of some Boolean functions combined with the carry effect actually facilitate, rather than prevent, differential attack.
SHA-1 Final Attack • Wang’s attack on SHA-1 consisted following techniques: • Message Modification Method • Differential Attack • Local Collision Attack • Use of Differential Path(effect of a single bit change tracked through the hash algorithm)and Disturbance Vector(set of bit changes to the hash input designed to create a set of changes to the hash sequence).
SHA-1 Differential Attack • Differential Cryptanalysis : the study of how differences in an input can affect the resultant difference at the output. • Fundamental Observations made by the team: A change in a bit j of word Wi can be corrected by complementary changes in the following bits – • bit (j+6) mod 32 of word Wi+1 • bit j of word Wi+2 • bit (j+30) mod 32 of word Wi+3 • bit (j+30) mod 32 of word Wi+4 • bit (j+30) mod 32 of word Wi+5
SHA-1 Local Collision Attack • Local Collision – a collision within a single message (or within a few steps of hash function), including intermediate hash results. • SHA-1 has a 6-step local collision that can start at any step.
SHA-1 Local Collision Attack (…cont) Collision
Conclusion • MD5 is breakable – 239 complexity • SHA-1 is breakable – 269 complexity • So, it’s time to switch from MD5 and SHA-1. • What next? Longer variants published by NIST • SHA-224 • SHA-256 • SHA-384 • SHA-512 • Because “Attacks always get better; they never get worse…”
