  30. Project

  31. Two Major Areas to Choose From • Cryptography • Digital Signal Processing

  32. Cryptography Project • requires knowledge of C or Java • related to the research project conducted by • Cryptographic Engineering Research Group (CERG) • at GMU • supporting NIST (National Institute of Standards • and Technology) in the evaluation of candidates • for a new cryptographic standard

  33. DSP Project (1) • requiresknowledge of Matlab and • basics of digitalsignalprocessing • processing of waveform audio files (.wav, .wave) • and images • co-advised by Dr. Aaron Cohen • recommended (but not required) for students • whowouldlike to specialize in digitalsignalprocessing • softintroduction to ECE 699 Digital Signals Processing • Hardware Architectures

  34. DSP Project (2) • Examples of Topics: • Signal Spectrum Analyzer (FFT) • VoIP Conference Call voicemixing • Backgroundadaptivenoisecanceling • Video/Audio codecs • Classifiers (Speech Recognition) • AdaptiveFiltering with Quantization • CompressedSensingSolver for Piano Notes

  35. Background for Cryptography Projects

  36. Crypto 101

  37. Cryptography is Everywhere Buying a book on-line Withdrawing cash from ATM Backing up files on remote server Teleconferencing over Intranets

  38. Cryptographic Standards Before 1997 Secret-Key Block Ciphers 2005 1999 1977 IBM & NSA DES – Data Encryption Standard Triple DES 1995 2003 1993 Hash Functions NSA SHA-1–Secure Hash Algorithm SHA-2 SHA 2000 1970 1990 1980 2010 time

  39. Why a Contest for a Cryptographic Standard? • Avoid back-door theories • Speed-up the acceptance of the standard • Stimulate non-classified research on methods of • designing a specific cryptographic transformation • Focus the effort of a relatively small cryptographic • community

  40. Cryptographic Standard Contests IX.1997 X.2000 AES 15 block ciphers 1 winner NESSIE I.2000 XII.2002 CRYPTREC V.2008 XI.2004 34 stream ciphers 4 HW winners + 4 SW winners eSTREAM XII.2012 X.2007 51 hash functions 1 winner SHA-3 96 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 time

  41. Cryptographic Contests - Evaluation Criteria Security Software Efficiency Hardware Efficiency μProcessors μControllers FPGAs ASICs Licensing Simplicity Flexibility

  42. Specific Challenges of Evaluations in Cryptographic Contests • Very wide range of possible applications, and as a result • performance and cost targets • throughput: single Mbits/s to hundreds Gbits/s • cost: single cents to thousands of dollars • Winner in use for the next 20-30 years, implemented using • technologies not in existence today • Large number of candidates • Limited time for evaluation • Only one winner and the results are final

  43. Mitigating Circumstances • Security is a primary criterion • Performance of competing algorithms tend to very significantly • (sometimes as much as 500 times) • Only relatively large differences in performance matter • (typically at least 20%) • Multiple groups independently implement the same algorithms • (catching mistakes, comparing best results, etc.) • Second best may be good enough

  44. AES Contest 1997-2000

  45. Rules of the Contest Each team submits Detailed cipher specification Justification of design decisions Tentative results of cryptanalysis Source code in C Source code in Java Test vectors
