  1. 8: Network Security What is network security? Confidentiality: only sender, intended receiver should “understand” message contents • sender encrypts message • receiver decrypts message Authentication: sender, receiver want to confirm identity of each other Message integrity: sender, receiver want to ensure message not altered (in transit, or afterwards) without detection Access and availability: services must be accessible and available to users

  2. Friends and enemies: Alice, Bob, Trudy • well-known in network security world • Bob, Alice want to communicate “securely” • Trudy (intruder) may intercept, delete, add messages Alice Bob data, control messages channel secure sender secure receiver data data Trudy 8: Network Security

  3. 8: Network Security Who might Bob, Alice be? • … well, real-life Bobs and Alices! • Web browser/server for electronic transactions (e.g., on-line purchases) • on-line banking client/server • DNS servers • routers exchanging routing table updates • other examples?

  4. 8: Network Security There are bad guys (and girls) out there! Q: What can a “bad guy” do? A: a lot! • eavesdrop: intercept messages • actively insert messages into connection • impersonation: can fake (spoof) source address in packet (or any field in packet) • hijacking: “take over” ongoing connection by removing sender or receiver, inserting himself in place • denial of service: prevent service from being used by others (e.g., by overloading resources) more on this later ……

  5. 8: Network Security K K A B The language of cryptography Alice’s encryption key Bob’s decryption key symmetric key crypto: sender, receiver keys identical public-key crypto: encryption key public, decryption key secret (private) encryption algorithm decryption algorithm ciphertext plaintext plaintext

  6. 8: Network Security Symmetric key cryptography substitution cipher: substituting one thing for another • monoalphabetic cipher: substitute one letter for another plaintext: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ciphertext: mnbvcxzasdfghjklpoiuytrewq E.g.: Plaintext: bob. i love you. alice ciphertext: nkn. s gktc wky. mgsbc • Q: How hard to break this simple cipher?: • brute force (how hard?) • other?

  7. 8: Network Security K K A-B A-B K (m) m = K ( ) A-B A-B Symmetric key cryptography symmetric key crypto: Bob and Alice share know same (symmetric) key: K • e.g., key is knowing substitution pattern in mono alphabetic substitution cipher • Q: how do Bob and Alice agree on key value? encryption algorithm decryption algorithm ciphertext plaintext plaintext message, m K (m) A-B A-B

  8. 8: Network Security Symmetric key crypto: DES DES: Data Encryption Standard • US encryption standard [NIST 1993] • 56-bit symmetric key, 64-bit plaintext input • How secure is DES? • DES Challenge: 56-bit-key-encrypted phrase (“Strong cryptography makes the world a safer place”) decrypted (brute force) in 4 months • making DES more secure: • use three keys sequentially (3-DES) on each datum • use cipher-block chaining

  9. 8: Network Security AES: Advanced Encryption Standard • new (Nov. 2001) symmetric-key NIST standard, replacing DES • processes data in 128 bit blocks • 128, 192, or 256 bit keys • brute force decryption (try each key) taking 1 sec on DES, takes 149 trillion years for AES • block ciphers: DES, 3DES, Blowfish, AES

  10. 8: Network Security + Cipher Block Chaining m(1) = “HTTP/1.1” c(1) = “k329aM02” block cipher t=1 • cipher block: if input block repeated, will produce same cipher text: … m(17) = “HTTP/1.1” c(17) = “k329aM02” block cipher t=17 • cipher block chaining: XOR ith input block, m(i), with previous block of cipher text, c(i-1) • c(0) transmitted to receiver in clear • what happens in “HTTP/1.1” scenario from above? m(i) c(i-1) block cipher c(i)

  11. Public key cryptography symmetric key crypto • requires sender, receiver know shared secret key • Q: how to agree on key in first place (particularly if never “met”)? public key cryptography • radically different approach [Diffie-Hellman76, RSA78] • sender, receiver do not share secret key • public encryption key known to all • private decryption key known only to receiver 8: Network Security

  13. 8: Network Security K (K (m)) = m B B - + 2 1 Public key encryption algorithms Requirements: need K ( ) and K ( ) such that . . + - B B + given public key K , it should be impossible to compute private key K B - B RSA: Rivest, Shamir, Adleman algorithm

  14. 8: Network Security + - K K B B RSA: Choosing keys 1. Choose two large prime numbers p, q. (e.g., 1024 bits each) 2. Compute n = pq, z = (p-1)(q-1) 3. Choose e (with e<n) that has no common factors with z. (e, z are “relatively prime”). 4. Choose d such that ed-1 is exactly divisible by z. (in other words: ed mod z = 1 ). 5.Public key is (n,e).Private key is (n,d).

  15. 8: Network Security 1. To encrypt bit pattern, m, compute d e m = c mod n c = m mod n e (i.e., remainder when m is divided by n) d e m = (m mod n) mod n RSA: Encryption, decryption 0. Given (n,e) and (n,d) as computed above 2. To decrypt received bit pattern, c, compute d (i.e., remainder when c is divided by n) Magic happens! c

  16. 8: Network Security d e m = c mod n c = m mod n d c RSA example: Bob chooses p=5, q=7. Then n=35, z=24. e=5 (so e, z relatively prime). d=29 (so ed-1 exactly divisible by z. e m m letter encrypt: l 17 1524832 12 c letter decrypt: 17 12 l 481968572106750915091411825223071697

  17. 8: Network Security e d ed (m mod n) mod n = m mod n 1 ed mod (p-1)(q-1) = m mod n = m mod n = m y y mod (p-1)(q-1) d e x mod n = x mod n m = (m mod n) mod n RSA: Why is that Useful number theory result: If p,q prime and n = pq, then: (using number theory result above) (since we choseed to be divisible by (p-1)(q-1) with remainder 1 )

  18. 8: Network Security K (K (m)) = m - B B + K (K (m)) - + = B B RSA: another important property The following property will be very useful later: use private key first, followed by public key use public key first, followed by private key Result is the same!

  19. Applications of Identity Based Encryption (IBE) • Bob encrypts mail with pub-key = “alice@hotmail” • Easy to use: no need for Bob to lookup Alice’s cert • Bob can send mail to Alice even if Alice has no cert • Bob encrypts with pub-key = “alice@hotmail || current-date” • Short lived private keys: revocation + mobility • Bob can send mail to be read at future date • Concept proposed by Shamir in 1980’s • First fully-functional scheme found in 2001 by Boneh and Franklin

  20. Definition of IBE • Setup • input: a security parameter t • output: params and master-key • Extract – run by a private key generator • input: params, master-key,and ID∈{0,1}* • output: dID • Encrypt • input: params, ID∈{0,1}*, M∈M • output: C • Decrypt • input: params, dID, C ∈C • output: M

  21. Security properties of Crypto schemes • Formalization of the notion that no algorithm breaks a crypto system • defined via a game between an Adversary and a Challenger • no polynomially bound Adversary wins the game with non-negligible advantage • Semantic security against a chosen ciphertext attack • No polynomially bound adversary wins the following game with non-negligible advantage

  22. A Game with the adversary • Adversary picks messages M0, M1and a public key ID • Challenger picks a random b∈{0,1} and sends C=Encrypt(params, ID, Mb) • chooses a security parameter t andruns Setup • keeps the master-key • gives the Adversary params • The Adversary issues n queries • extraction query on other people IDi • decryption query IDi , Ci Choose target Challenge Queries Answer Adversary Challenger

  23. The Game cont’d • The Adversary outputs b’ • The Adversary wins if b=b’ | Prob (the attacker wins) – ½ | should be negligible This game can be made adaptive to model a stronger adversary

  24. 8: Network Security Bob receives msg from Alice, wants to ensure: message originally came from Alice message not changed since sent by Alice Cryptographic Hash: takes input m, produces fixed length value, H(m) e.g., as in Internet checksum computationally infeasible to find two different messages, x, y such that H(x) = H(y) equivalently: given m = H(x), (x unknown), can not determine x. note: Internet checksum fails this requirement! Message Integrity

  25. 8: Network Security H(.) public Internet m m m append H(.) H(m+s) H(m+s) H(m+s) H(m+s) compare Message Authentication Code (shared secret) s (message) s (shared secret)

  26. 8: Network Security MD5 hash function widely used (RFC 1321) computes 128-bit MAC in 4-step process. arbitrary 128-bit string x, appears difficult to construct msg m whose MD5 hash is equal to x SHA-1 is also used US standard [NIST, FIPS PUB 180-1] 160-bit MAC MACs in practice

  27. 8: Network Security cryptographic technique analogous to hand-written signatures. sender (Bob) digitally signs document, establishing he is document owner/creator. verifiable, nonforgeable: recipient (Alice) can prove to someone that Bob, and no one else (including Alice), must have signed document Digital Signatures

  28. 8: Network Security simple digital signature for message m: Bob “signs” m by encrypting with his private key KB, creating “signed” message, KB(m) - - K K B B Digital Signatures - - Bob’s private key Bob’s message, m (m) Dear Alice Oh, how I have missed you. I think of you all the time! …(blah blah blah) Bob Bob’s message, m, signed (encrypted) with his private key public key encryption algorithm

  29. 8: Network Security suppose Alice receives msg m, digital signature KB(m) Alice verifies m signed by Bob by applying Bob’s public key KB to KB(m) then checks KB(KB(m) ) = m. if KB(KB(m) ) = m, whoever signed m must have used Bob’s private key. Alice thus verifies that: Bob signed m. No one else signed m. Bob signed m and not m’. non-repudiation: Alice can take m, and signature KB(m) to court and prove that Bob signed m.

  31. 8: Network Security public key problem: When Alice obtains Bob’s public key (from web site, e-mail, diskette), how does she know it is Bob’s public key, not Trudy’s? solution: trusted certification authority (CA) Public Key Certification

  32. + + digital signature (encrypt) K K B B - K K CA CA + (K ) B Certification Authorities • Certification Authority (CA): binds public key to particular entity, E. • E registers its public key with CA. • E provides “proof of identity” to CA. • CA creates certificate binding E to its public key. • certificate containing E’s public key digitally signed by CA: CA says “This is E’s public key.” Bob’s public key CA private key certificate for Bob’s public key, signed by CA - Bob’s identifying information 8: Network Security

  33. + + digital signature (decrypt) K K B B - K K CA CA + (K ) B Certification Authorities • when Alice wants Bob’s public key: • gets Bob’s certificate (from Bob or elsewhere). • apply CA’s public key to Bob’s certificate, get Bob’s public key Bob’s public key CA public key + 8: Network Security

Alice uses three keys: her private key, Bob’s public key, newly created symmetric key

  38. 8: Network Security Internet e-mail encryption scheme, de-facto standard. uses symmetric key cryptography, public key cryptography, hash function, and digital signature as described. provides secrecy, sender authentication, integrity. inventor, Phil Zimmerman, was target of 3-year federal investigation. ---BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE--- Hash: SHA1 Bob:My husband is out of town tonight.Passionately yours, Alice ---BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE--- Version: PGP 5.0 Charset: noconv yhHJRHhGJGhgg/12EpJ+lo8gE4vB3mqJhFEvZP9t6n7G6m5Gw2 ---END PGP SIGNATURE--- Pretty good privacy (PGP) A PGP signed message:

  39. 8: Network Security provides transport layer security to any TCP-based application using SSL services. e.g., between Web browsers, servers for e-commerce (https) security services: server authentication, data encryption, client authentication (optional) Secure sockets layer (SSL) Application Application SSL sublayer SSL socket TCP TCP TCP socket IP IP TCP API TCP enhanced with SSL
