RSA • RSA cryptosystem • Rivest-Shamir-Adelman in 1978 • Turing award in 2002
RSA Keys • Public keys (n,e), private keys d • n: a composite. n=pq, where p and q are large primes • d: an integer, 2<d<n • e: an integer, 2<e<n, s.t. forany number x, x=(xe mod n) d mod n
RSA Encryption/Decryption • Encryption of P: C=Pe mod n • Decryption of C: P=Cd mod n • PKCS:P =plaintext+ random padding < n • Why need random padding? C=Pe mod n d n,e n,e Bob insecure channel Alice d: Bob’s private key n,e: Bob’s public key
How to Choose Keys in RSA • Choose 2 large prime numbers p, q • Computen=pqandφ=(p-1)(q-1) • Chooseerelatively prime to φ • Compute d from φ and e such that e*d mod φ =1 • Public: n, e • Private: p, q, φ, d • A Toy Example: • Let p = 47, q = 71, then n = pq = 3337, φ=(p-1)(q-1) = 3220 • Let e =79, Note φ = 3220 = 22 5 7 23 • Solve d from d*79 mod 3220 =1, which gives d = 1019 (using extended Euclidean algorithm) • Let P = 688, then C =Pe mod n = 688^79 mod 3337 = 1570 • P = Cd mod n = 1570^1019 mod 3337

RSA Key Size and Security • key size size of n • n: 1024 bits (309 digits); 2048 bits (618 digits); 4096 bits • Security difficulty of • Factorizing n=p*q p, q,φ, d • A 512 bits (154 digits) n could be factored in several months
RSA Key Size and Security • http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2007 • By the year 2009, a machine that could break a 1024-bit RSA key in about a day would cost at least $250 million • For data that needs to be protected no later than the year 2015, the table indicates that the RSA key size should be at least 1024 bits. For data that needs to be protected longer, the key size should be at least 2048 bits.
Asymmetric Key exchange over public channel Scalable for multi-party communication Long keys (e.g., 1024 bits) Slow implementation RSA software can encrypt 7.4~21.6 Kb/sec Fastest RSA hardware can encrypt 1 Mb/sec Symmetric Key exchange must be done over secure channel Non-scalable for multi-party communication Relative short keys (e.g., 128 bits) Fast implementation In software, DES is generally 100 times faster than RSA In hardware, DES is between 1000 to 10,000 times faster Asymmetric vs Symmetric
Scenario • RSA is too slow, not suitable for large P
Question • Can we have a fast (as AES) and scalable crypto-system without secure channel (as RSA)? • Envelop encryption: combine AES and RSA • Es: AES encryption • Ds: AES decryption • k: AES key • Ea: RSA encryption • Da: RSA decryption • (e,n): RSA public key; d: RSA private key
Envelop Encryption (1) • Alice selects a random session key (AES key) k, and gets C1=Es(k,P) (using AES) Mallory C1= Es(k,P) Bob Alice
Envelop Encryption (2) • Alice uses Bob’s public key e,n to encrypt k (using RSA), and gets C2=Ea(e,n,k) Mallory C2=Ea(e,n,k) C1= Es(k,P) Bob Alice
Communication • Alice sends C1 and C2 together to Bob Mallory C2=Ea(e,n,k) C1= Es(k,P) Bob Alice
Envelop Decryption (1) • Bob uses his private key d to decrypt C2 (using RSA) and gets k = Da(d,C2) Mallory C2=Ea(e,n,k) C1= Es(k,P) Bob Alice k=Da(d,C2)
Envelop Decryption (2) • Bob uses k to decrypt C1 (using AES) and gets P=Ds(k,C1) Mallory C2=Ea(e,n,k) C1= Es(k,P) Bob Alice k=Da(d,C2) P=Ds(k,C1)
